The Blue Gem Turquoise Mine, situated in northern Nevada, stands as a storied and revered source of turquoise with a distinct and captivating hue. Discovered in the early 20th century, the mine gained prominence for yielding turquoise characterized by a striking deep blue color, often accompanied by a web-like matrix that adds to its allure. The mine has intermittently operated over the years, contributing to the scarcity and desirability of its turquoise. Blue Gem turquoise is known for its exceptional hardness and ability to retain its vivid color over time, making it a prized gemstone among jewelry artisans and collectors. The mine's limited production and the unique quality of its turquoise have solidified Blue Gem's place in the history of American turquoise mining, and its stones are cherished for their rarity and distinct beauty in the world of turquoise enthusiasts. The center stone measures around 3/4" x 3/4". The width of the bracelet measures around 5". Signed by Navajo artist, P.Iule. Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 9-3/8". Sturdy 200 grams.
