The Lander Blue Turquoise Mine
was located between Battle Mountain and Tenabo in Lander County, Nevada.
In the 1960s this incredible Turquoise stone was mined from a small
pocket, and has produced some of the most beautiful and unique type
turquoise seen today. Color varies from a deep blue to a light blue
spider web in very black contrasting matrix. Some of the turquoise
specks are as small as a dot or a period at the end of a sentence.
This is one of the few mines that produced almost nothing but spider
web.
The owner of the mine extracted
everything that was available, which was a limited quantity therefore
making this rare find some of the most valued turquoise today. When
each stone and each designed piece now in the market is gone, this
will be the end of this beautiful stone and a collectors dream.
Unlike other turquoise stones, Landers Blue is sold by the carat.
