Indian Mountain turquoise is a rare, highly collectible variety of American turquoise mined in a remote, high-elevation location on Bald Mountain in Lander County, Nevada.
Key Features and HistoryLocation: Found in the south range of Bald Mountain, making it one of the most difficult and inaccessible mines to operate in Nevada.
Discovery: The claim's history is somewhat mysterious, with stories pointing to discovery by a Shoshone sheepherder or local prospectors in the 1970s, followed by major extraction efforts by miners like Ed Mauzy and J.W. Edgar in the 1980s.
Appearance: It is famous for stunning sky-to-deep blue or greenish hues paired with a striking, dark spiderweb or reddish-brown matrix pattern. [1]
Rarity: As discussed by community members on Turquoise People, collectors consider high-grade Indian Mountain turquoise quite rare due to very limited historical production and compact host rock that made mining exceptionally tough.
Non Radioactive but beautiful material that is exceptionally rare and beautiful!
