Blue Diamond Turquoise was named for producing some of the hardest turquoise ever found.  It is located in the area of Austin, Nevada and was first mined in the 1930s. The mine is considered a “hat mine” due to its relatively small deposit of turquoise yet the stones that this mine produces were usually large pieces in plate form. Blue Diamond Turquoise has become very rare. High grade Blue Diamond Turquoise is known for its striking blue color with a manganese smokey black matrix. It is very beautiful Turquoise and was mined from the late 50’s to around 1980. After many years of being closed, today Blue Diamond turquoise is once again being actively mined in very limited quantities by the current owner.
