The Blue Gem turquoise mine, situated in Nevada, is celebrated for its distinctive and high-quality turquoise, which is treasured for its wide range of colors, from deep blues to vivid greens, often accompanied by a unique golden to brown matrix. Discovered in the early 20th century, the Blue Gem mine has been a prolific source of turquoise, producing some of the hardest and most durable stones available. This durability makes Blue Gem turquoise particularly suitable for intricate jewelry designs and inlay work. The mine's turquoise is known for its exceptional luster and vibrant hues, which have captivated artisans and collectors for decades. Although the Blue Gem mine is no longer in operation, its turquoise remains highly sought after and continues to be a testament to the rich mining heritage of Nevada. The stones measure around 1/4" x 3/16". Sterling silver. The pin measures around 3" x 1-1/2". Sturdy 33 grams. Cir 1930's/40's
