Blue Ridge Mountain Turquoise Rings

Blue Ridge Mountain Turquoise rings. A nice variety of gorgeous blues and perfect flaws in the gemstone.

"Positioned near Crescent Valley and Gold Acres in Nevada, the Blue Ridge Mine produces only a rare amount of blue and yellowish green turquoise. Due to the presence of zinc, this mine remains one of the most unique deposits for its variety of color. Blue Ridge also known as Orvil Jack is located in Lander County, Nevada. Orvil & Bessie Jack claimed the mine in 1956. The first Blue Ridge that came out of the mine had spider web matrix, or it was in nugget form. In the 80's Orvil Jack discovered what was known as Orvil Jack turquoise".
