About Indian Mountain Turquoise:

On the south range of Bald Mountain in Lander County, Nevada is the Indian Mountain turquoise mine. A Shoshone sheepherder was said to have found the mine in 1970. The Indian Mountain was owned and operated by Ed Mauzy and J.W. Edgar, both legends in Nevada turquoise mining. Mining at Indian Mountain was carried on from late May to early October with a recovery of "about three pounds" (Turquoise Annual) of good turquoise a day. During winter the mine could be covered in up to 10 feet of snow. Indian Mountain turquoise was difficult to mine, found in very compact rock. During mining season the miners lived in trailers 75 miles from electricity and the closest telephone. The vein material and small nuggets found were of a very high grade turquoise. Seen in both a green and fine blue color, sometimes order combined. The spider web Indian Mountain is considered to be some of the finer turquoise available.

I had the pleasure of knowing Eddie and I did some business with him. But by the time that I met him, he was mining elsewhere and had sold almost all of his Indian Mountain turquoise. By a lucky chance, I was contacted about a collection of stones purchased years before and purchased a good deal of it. It is beautiful, has a variety of colors and matrixes, and is one of my favorite mines as far as color and variety.

One Note:

I have done my best to get the most accurate representation of the stone/stones. I have noticed that the photos look slightly different on different computers, and with different lighting, etc. I take the photos under natural light with a quality camera and with no alterations. I can assure you that the photographs do not do any stone true justice in my mind. I am selling these from my personal collection. I have been a collector for most of my adult life. What I am selling is part of my collection of turquoise stones from a variety of U.S. Mines.

Check my other items frequently. I will be adding to the inventory regularly.

I will ship within 2 business days of your purchase.

Thank You!
