38.5 ct KINGMAN, AZ ITHACA PEAK GEM BLUE TURQUOISE VINTAGE "1970'S STOCK" #3850

Description

THIS  IS  A (3) STONE PARCEL, 38.5 CT.
I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO TRADE INTO THIS 1970'S MINED MATERIAL. IT WAS SOURCED FROM A RETIRED MINER FROM DUVAL COPPER MINE.
THE MATERIAL CAN'T BE REPLACED AND IS NOT A WHOLESALE PARCEL.
THIS IS THE COLOR THAT STARTED THE WHOLE AMERICAN TURQUOISE SCENE.
I WILL ACCEPT OFFERS!
THIS MATERIAL IS GUARENTEED TO BE FROM THE
ITHACA PEAK MINE
, 14 MILES NORTHWEST OF KINGMAN, ARIZONA.
(THE OLD DUVAL COPPER MINE
)
THESE ARE
HAND CUT
"
FREE FORM
" STONES AND CAN VARY SLIGHTLY IN SIZE. ALL STONES ARE CUT
USING DIAMOND PACIFIC
EQUIPMENT. I HAVE BEEN CUTTING OPAL AND TURQUOISE GEMS FOR THE LAST
25+
YEARS. IN THE PAST I HAVE ALWAYS SOLD MY STONES TO SILVERSMITHS AND JEWELRY MAKERS DIRECTLY, OR TO THE PUBLIC AT VARIOUS SHOWS.
THIS MATERIAL IS SOURCED DIRECTLY FROM
KINGMAN, AZ, THE ITHACA PEAK MINE. (OLD DUVAL MINE)
THE STONE IS
VINTAGE OLD STOCK
AND
GEM BLUE
IN COLOR.
THIS GRADE OF MATERIAL IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND SINCE MOST OF IT WAS MINED OUT DURING THE 60,S AND 70,S.
MOST OF THE TURQUOISE SOLD TODAY IS MINED IN CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
THESE STONES ARE NOT BACKED AND ARE STABILIZED. STONES HANDLED IN THIS WAY ARE VERY
HARD
, VERY
SOUND
, AND TAKE A
HIGH GLOSS
POLISH
.
ALL THIS MATERIAL COMES FROM KINGMAN, ARIZONA IN MOHAVE COUNTY, USA.
IT WAS MINED HERE, CUT HERE, AND BEING SOLD HERE.
