Kingman Turquoise — Arizona's Famous Blue Gemstone
Kingman Turquoise originates in the Mineral Park mining district in the Cerbat Mountains of northwestern Arizona, near the city of Kingman.
Kingman Turquoise is among the most historically significant and recognizable turquoise varieties in the American Southwest. Its reputation comes from its beautiful blue coloration, distinctive matrix patterns, and connection to Arizona's Native American jewelry traditions.
What makes Kingman especially interesting is that it doesn't have just one appearance. Turquoise from the Kingman mining district can range from brilliant sky blue to deep blue, teal, and green, with different matrix patterns depending on where the material formed.
