Turquoise Information from Durango Silver Company

Turquoise Information from Durango Silver Company

Basic Turquoise Information


Here is some quick Turquoise Facts. One of the most important pieces of Turquoise Information is that this gem is one of the most popular gemstones in the world market and is considered by most jewelers and gem experts to be in the top ten most popular gems world wide. Turquoise is a gemstone with great diversity as jewelers add it to necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. The stone is also a popular material for art pieces, trade, and religion. Another benefit to a Turquoise purchase is that the stone’s color allows jewelers to use a variety of materials for the settings. For instance, the stone pairs well with yellow gold, white gold, and platinum along with stainless steel and silver. Sterling Silver is the most popular medium you will find the "sky stone" set in. Turquoise is the birthstone for December and recommended for a couple’s fifth wedding anniversary. With the gem in high demand, buyers must carefully assess a stone for quality. When shopping for Turquoise, review each stone’s signature color and surrounding matrix if you are looking for a collectible, or you are paying extra for the gem. Standard Turquoise ranges from 2.00 per carat to 15.00 per carat for natural gems that have not been stabilized or color enhanced. Stabilized Turquoise gemstones will sell for 25 cents to 5 dollars per carat depending on color and matrix patterning. Turquoise will vary in color from deep green to light blue while the surrounding hues may feature white or black. There are also rare colors of Turquoise such as lime green Turquoise, yellow, and brown Turquoise. Some gems may not feature varying colors within the stone. There are also many cousins in the phosphate gemstone family such as Variscite, Chalcociderite, and Faustite that are commonly sold as Turquoise and have been for thousands of years. Keep in mind that surrounding color does not cause the value of the gem to decrease. Therefore, individuals should decide whether they like more or less color variation in their Turquoise Jewelry or stones, whether they like "Matrix" or host rock in the gem or not, and if they desire a standard grade of Turquoise, a rare hue, or an ultra rare variety of Turquoise such as Spiderweb Turquoise or Turquoise from a rare local or closed mine. - Find More Turquoise Information at our Turquoise Learning Center


Turquoise Information - Buying Tips
When shopping for turquoise, be sure to review the stone’s color for vividness and uniformity. After a company procures turquoise, they typically treat the gem to enhance the stone’s attributes. In some cases, treatment will include dye, which will change a pale-colored stone into one with bright colors. Low quality gems usually receive a dye treatment, and since turquoise is porous, it will accept chemically based color additives. If gem shoppers notice that a stone appears translucent, then it may be color treated and is a low quality gem. If a buyer purchases a dyed stone, then he or she should ensure proper care to prevent the turquoise from fading or discoloring. Global turquoise reserves appear to be decreasing while the demand for the gem is growing. Therefore, purchasing a piece of jewelry with a quality stone may be a smart financial investment.

Turquoise Information - Cuts
Turquoise is not transparent. Therefore, jewelry cutters typically do not facet the stone. Instead, artisans cut Turquoise cabochons or Turquoise beads. In fact, the cabochon cut is the oldest and most basic way that jewelers cut gems. Buyers will also find Turquoise in carved shapes like pear, flower,heart, and more intricate shapes.

Turquoise Information - How to Care for Turquoise
Since turquoise is a phosphate mineral, it is fragile. Therefore, gemstone owners should use caution when wearing perfume on their neck and wrists while adorning themselves with a turquoise bracelet or necklace. Chemicals will damage the stone’s finish and may change its color. Skin oils may also negatively affect turquoise. Avoid cleaning the gem with commercial jewelry cleaning products and prevent the stone from entering direct sunlight because it can cause turquoise to discolor. Before putting on a jewelry item featuring turquoise, apply makeup and sunscreen in addition to hairspray. After wearing turquoise, gently wipe the stone with a soft, clean towel, which will prevent residue from developing. It is safe to wash the gem with warm water. However, be sure to dry it thoroughly before placing it inside a storage container. Store turquoise in a separate compartment away from other jewelry pieces or gems as turquoise may become scratched. Also, do not store the gemstone in an airtight container since this can also cause damage to the stone.

Lone Mountain Spiderweb Turquoise

Some of the most sought after Turquoise in the world by gem collectors is natural Lone Mountain Turquoise from Nevada, especially the spiderweb variety. 

Water Web Lone Mountain Spiderweb Turquoise in a Sterling Silver ring by Dillon Hartman

Historical Lone Mountain Turquoise Information

The Lone Mountain turquoise mine is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, not far from Tonopah. It has been one of the great producers of Nevada Turquoise. The color ranges from a beautiful clear blue to a dark blue spider web Turquoise. Lone Mountain has always been noted for holding its color. To this day jewelry can be found that was made in the 1930’s or 1940’s with Lone Mountain Spiderweb Turquoise just as blue as when it was made.
To the left is a handmade Sterling Silver ring that features some of the newer natural Lone Mountain Turquoise that has come out within the last 5-10 years. This piece of Turquoise has water web matrix and beautiful pastel blue color to it.

The mine was claimed by Lee Hand and named Blue Jay Mining Lode. Later, after seeing that so many mines had been named Blue Jay, Hand changed the mine’s name to Lone Mountain. In 1927 at a depth of about 40 feet Bert Kopenhaver, who had leased the mine from Hand, found the beautiful Spider Web Turquoise material that made Lone Mountain one of the top mines in the Southwest. Today, Lone Mountain’s beautiful blue spider web still gives Lander Blue, the most valuable Turquoise in the world, a run for its money. The mine has continued to change hands over the years and even now a small amount of good material is being produced.
The mine has many rare occurrence such as the "fossil turquoise" finds in this mine. Plant fossils and sometimes seashells that have dissolved away leaving only the cavities were filled with Turquoise deposits which are usually Lone Mountain Spiderweb Turquoise. My favorite are the reeds that have been fossilized and make natural beads that already have wholes in them. Turquoise nuggets in moss agate have also been found.

Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochons - Durango Silver Company

Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochons - Durango Silver Company

Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochons

A Brief History on Lander Blue Turquoise

The Lander Blue Turquoise mine in Lander County, Nevada is located between Battle Mountain and Tenabo. The mine was first claimed in 1973. This little mine produced some of the most beautiful spiderweb Turquoise ever discovered. Today it is considered the most valuable Turquoise on earth. Not surprisingly, as early as 1975 it had been stated that Lander Blue had become some of the most valuable Turquoise to date.



Like a number of the other high-grade Turquoise finds, Lander Blue was a very rich pocket discovery, and has been referred to as a “hat mine,” a term used to described small floats of Turquoise because they could be “covered with a hat” and exaggerated figure of speech There were no extensive zones or long veins. These pockets are not uncommon in nature and once mined out they are gone forever. The Lander Blue mine produce almost entirely spiderweb Turquoise cabochons once cut with colors from medium to deep blue with a stark black matrix. Although some other grades were found only approximately 100 pounds of the beautiful spiderweb Turquoise was mined at the location.
Rita Hapgood, a one time blackjack dealer in Battle Mountain, while walking with her two sisters, found little nuggets on the ground along Indian Creek in the Crescent Valley area of Nevada. After discovering this deposit of high-grade Turquoise she went on to claim the site as the Mary Louise Lode Mining Claim, the name Mary Louise belonging to her mother. The mine bordered the Lander Ranch. Later the claim was sold to Marvin Syme and Henry 'Hank' Dorian for the sum of $10,000.00. They brought in Bob Johnson, who provided equipment and began working the claim. The three then named the company the Lander Blue Turquoise Corp.

Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochon from the Hartman Collection


Marvin Syme ended up owning a number of Turquoise mines in Nevada and later retired to Idaho. Hank Dorian operated the Nevada Club in Battle Mountain for a number of years until his passing and Bob and Dixie Johnson continued to sell Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochons until they ran out. The Lander Blue mine later became part of Dowell Ward’s large string of Turquoise mines.
Today, because of its rarity and value, there seems to be more Lander Blue for sale than was ever mined. With very little provenance available when buying beautiful Lander Blue Spiderweb Turquoise Cabochons or Lander Blue Turquoise Jewelry, this material has truly become a case of ”Buyer Beware.” The only way to be sure is to buy from a reputable dealer and know what you are looking at. To the trained eye, nothing looks like true Lander Blue Turquoise.

Green Spiderweb Turquoise

Turquoise is a complex gemstone as there were many variables in its creation that gave it the ultimate qualities it possesses today. Turquoise is a sedimentary gemstone that is formed by moisture seeping though soil that contains copper, aluminum sulfites and iron mineralization - a solution of these minerals flows downward and pools in hard rockck cracks and/or voids in the earth below to form a conglomerate. Turquoise forms in very few areas of the world, the different percentages of minerals, the climate of the region and variations in its formation determine the coloration and unique characteristics of each Turquoise deposit. There are definite regions of the world that produce higher quality of Turquoise than others and the southwest region of the United States is known for producing some of the finest Turquoise on earth including the rare and highly coveted Green Spiderweb Turquoise.

Candelaria Turquoise by Durango Silver Company

The Candelaria Turquoise is a good quality stone of high blue color with an intermittent black or brown, non-webbed matrix in general. The high-grade Candelaria is a translucent dark blue with a reddish brown spider web matrix. It is a hard, attractive stone. The Candelaria Hills also produce some of the most attractive Varascite, which comes in a wide spectrum of colors. The Candelaria mine has a rich history going back to the middle 1800s.. This is a very hard stone, high silica content. This mine produces some of the most unusual and beautiful stone patterns, no two stones are ever alike. Candelaria Turquoise is very valuable because it is not frequently available and the mine has been closed for many years.
