History of the mine
Found a year after Emerald Basin, in the same group of mines, where turquoise forms in kaolinite clay along massive faults across two hills. Natural rough runs a soft dark blue with cloud-like white hues; stabilized material ranges from electric blue to soft green, including roughly twenty pounds of gem-grade translucent rough recovered so far.
