Unlike many of the other types of turquoise we carry Kingman has never been a “hat mine” –instead it has been a major copper producing area in north western Arizona for well over a hundred years. Kingman Turquoise –because of availability and quality– has been a favorite of Southwestern jeweler’s for decades. Although never as romanticized as some of the other Arizona turquoise mines we have always been favorably impressed by the quality, color and availability of turquoise from the Kingman area. If you want an American turquoise and don’t have your heart set on a specific shade of blue or green or a specific mine Kingman is always a good fallback choice.
