The Blue Gem turquoise mine, located near Battle Mountain, Nevada, is renowned for producing some of the finest turquoise in the world. This historic mine, active primarily from the 1930s through the 1970s, is celebrated for yielding high-grade turquoise in a spectrum of vibrant hues, ranging from intense blue to rich green, often with golden or brown matrix patterns. Known for its hardness and brilliant colors, Blue Gem turquoise is highly sought after by jewelers and collectors alike. Its exceptional quality and rarity make it a prized material in Native American jewelry, particularly in intricate silver settings. Although the mine is no longer operational, the legacy of Blue Gem turquoise endures, with its stones continuing to be treasured for their beauty and connection to the American Southwest. The width of the bracelet measures around 1/4". Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 8-1/2". Sturdy 25 grams.
