Lander Blue Turquoise
Rita J. Hapgold, a blackjack dealer at the Nevada Club at Battle Mountain, discovered this turquoise deposit in 1973 while picnicking at Indian Creek. She collected some nuggets in a can and later claimed the site as the Mary Louise Lode Mining Claim. Later that year she sold her claim to Marvin Syme and Henry Dorian, who formed the Lander Blue Turquoise Corporation. Lander Blue was a \"hat mine\" so called because you could cover it with a hat, only 98 pounds of turquoise was ever recovered from it. Today This rarest of all Southwestern turquoise classics is also of the highest grade and thus, pound for pound, the most valuable turquoise in the world.Turtles play positive roles in the folklore of many Native American tribes. In the creation myths of some East Coast tribes (such as the Iroquois and Lenape), the Great Spirit created their homeland by placing earth on the back of a giant turtle. This is why some contemporary Native Americans refer to North America by the name \"Turtle Island.\" Turtles are a symbol of the earth in many different Native cultures. To Plains Indians, turtles are associated with long life, protection, patience and fertility. In other tribes, turtles are often associated with healing, wisdom, and spirituality. This truly Rare and Unique fella may bring you long life, Protection, Patience & Healing Wisdom.
