Kingman Turquoise

The Kingman Turquoise mine is one of the oldest and highest producing Turquoise mines in America. It was originally discovered by prehistoric Indians over 1000 years ago. It is known for its beautiful sky blue colour but produces many variations into green. The mine is located in Arizona and the Turquoise is produced as a by-product from the copper mines in the district. Currently kingman turquoise is the last active, commercially producing turquoise mine left in the states.
