Natural Red Mountain Turquoise

Red Mountain Turquoise comes from the renowned Red Mountain mine in Lander County, Nevada, a source celebrated for producing some of the finest turquoise available to jewelry makers. This mine is especially prized for its high-grade, hard, compact spiderweb turquoise, which features intricate matrices in striking shades of dark blue, blue-green, and even gold or rust-colored webs. The best Red Mountain turquoise rivals the output of classic mines like Number Eight and Lone Mountain, with its top material often cut into cabochons for use in high-end gold and silver jewelry. Red Mountain turquoise offers exceptional color, durability, and distinctive spiderweb patterns, making it an excellent choice for statement pieces and collectible Southwestern jewelry.
