About Kingman Turquoise
Kingman turquoise is a highly prized variety of turquoise known for its vivid blue color, often with a unique spiderweb matrix pattern. Sourced from the Kingman Mine in northwestern Arizona, one of the oldest and most productive turquoise mines in the United States, this turquoise is famous for its intense sky-blue shades, which range from bright robin’s egg blue to deep, rich blue hues. The matrix patterns, which can appear as black, brown, or golden spiderweb-like veining, enhance the stone’s beauty and add distinctive character to each piece.
The Kingman Mine has been a major source of turquoise for centuries, first worked by Native Americans long before modern mining methods. Today, Kingman turquoise is one of the most recognized and highly valued types of American turquoise, especially for jewelry and art pieces. While some Kingman turquoise may be treated to stabilize its color and durability, natural, untreated stones from this mine are especially prized by collectors and artisans. This turquoise is particularly popular in Southwestern and Native American jewelry, where its vibrant color pairs beautifully with silver settings.
