Stone: Valley Blue Turquoise
The Valley Blue Turquoise Mine is located between Austin and Battle Mountain, Nevada and became fairly famous for a small time mine back in the 60’s and 70’s. It produced a nice medium blue to dark blue Turquoise with black matrix usually in nugget form. It is also rumored that this Turquoise mine was the mine that the famous and elusive “Sacred Buffalo Turquoise” came from.
