11.4ct,Turquoise Mountain Cabochon Stabilized. Turquoise Mountain turquoise comes from the Cerbat Mountains in Mohave County, AZ. It is part of the Kingman mining operations and one of the two main turquoise deposits along with Ithaca Peak.
Turquoise Mountain turquoise is marketed separately from the rest of the Kingman and Ithaca Peak material. Ranging in color from deep blues to lighter blues with a greenish hue, much of the quality Turquoise Mountain material has very nice webbing that can be brown, black or "water web" which is lighter or darker turquoise colored webbing. Thanks for looking and please check out my other Cabochons. I Combine Shipping and ship internationally!
These beauties were recently cut and polished by a master gem cutter in Durango Colorado.  Flawlessly cut. The Cabs have wonderful polish and are backed with Devcon for additional strength.  I obtained the rough in the mid 1970's in trade for ore from a Lander County mine I worked called the Blue Nugget.  It was some of the very first ore taken out of the mine.  To my knowledge there is no known original rough left at least not of this quality.
Some refer to these stones as Turquoise, but in reality they are known as Chalcosiderite, a close cousin to Turquoise.  The New Lander Mine is located in Lander Country Nevada close to the famous Lander Blue Turquoise Mine. That mine is defunct, but Cabs from it are probably the most expensive in the world bringing up to 0.00 per carat.  The black matrix is very similar to Lander Blue while the colors of the stones vary from different shades of green to blue and lighter blue.
You will see offering for New Lander, but almost none is of this quality.
