The Blue Gem turquoise stone is highly valued for its vibrant colors, which range from deep blue to a striking greenish-blue, often with a golden or brown matrix that enhances its visual appeal. Mined in various locations in Nevada, the most famous Blue Gem mines were known for producing some of the hardest and most durable turquoise, making it ideal for fine jewelry that stands the test of time. This stone's range of colors is particularly rare in turquoise, as a single Blue Gem mine could yield multiple shades, each with unique characteristics. Because of its durability and captivating colors, Blue Gem turquoise has been a favorite for Native American jewelry, especially in Navajo and Zuni designs. As mining has ceased in these areas, authentic Blue Gem turquoise has become increasingly scarce and is now a sought-after stone for collectors and artisans alike, symbolizing both the beauty and rarity of American turquoise. The center stone measures around 1/8" x 1/8". Sterling silver. The pin measures around 2-1/2" x 1/2". Sturdy 9 grams.
