About Blue Diamond Turquoise
Blue Diamond Turquoise was so named because it is one of thehardest turquoises ever found. The BlueDiamond mine is located outside of Austin, Nevada and was first mined in the1930s. The mine is considered a “hatmine” which is only a small deposit of turquoise that “you can cover with yourhat”.
The stones that this mine produces, which are usually largepieces in plate form, look a great deal like Stormy Mountain Turquoise becauseof its black smoky matrix surrounded by a brilliant blue. The characteristic black chert ispresent. Long time area miners have beennoted to have said the Blue Diamond mine yielded some of the best turquoise inNevada. This turquoise is extremely hardand is seldom stabilized.
