EXCLUSIVE PIMA COUNTY TURQUOISE
This material is being dug on an open range in Pima County south of Tucson. It is very hard and stable, needing no stabilization. It's pretty variable, with a lot of zinc (yellow) and manganese (black) and iron (red) inclusions, but not overly so, just enough to give the stones some "zat". A fair bit of it is nearly pure sky blue like the Sleeping Beauty Mine.
The price varies from $25 to $500 per pound, depending on the quality of the stone and quantity purchased. The cabochons are being offered at $1.00/gram for the parcel of ~300 grams. Message me to arrange for viewing in person. There are several hundred pounds of the low grade available now.
