There are several turquoise mines in the Pilot Mountain area of Nevada. Most of them have been active erratically since around the time of World War I. Pilot Mountain’s peak production period was probably sometime in the 1970s. Pilot Mountain is still being mined and the region produces a variety of interesting material –we have even seen some fine “ribbon turquoise” from Pilot Mountain– however, ambulance ed Pilot Mountain is no longer a volume producer and while definitely not as rare as some of the turquoise we carry, it is also not common.
