A minor turquoise mine in the greater Battle Mountain area of Nevada. At its best Dry Creek turquoise is exceptionally hard –a rare occurrence for a turquoise that is relatively pale in color. Never a major producing mine we have never had more that a few strands of Dry Creek at any time. Because of its exceptional hardness Dry Creek turquoise can take an excellent polish. At its best it can have a near glassy finish with a hint of dark matrix.
