Sale Description:Mojave County, AZ mined. 1 LB. This is a phenomenal one pound of Old Hardy Pit Turquoise! Get the same look and quality that you see, the pics are of recent sales. Old Hardy Pit Turquoise was stashed in pails and buckets, in the 1950s to the 1960s, by the great LW Hardy. LW was a partner for some good time in the Colbaugh Mojave County digs, and also the owner of the world renowned Sleeping Beauty Mine (Globe). LW knew that the Super Greens and the Faustite that seemed useless then, would someday be worth something to everyone. Now those emerald colours are to die for. Thank God LW kept them. Now the miners still have those old buckets and piles in the Mojave County Mine area. Everybody wants them. They are only letting a few of them go. Exotic Emerald and Faustite green colours, gem like rippled veins and rivers pouring into pools. Corkwood rock base polishes to look almost sinful. Exotic as it comes. Size is golf balls and up. There is nothing like the LW Hardy picks, these lots will blow your mind. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back
Reliable Sourcing & History:Nothing but reliability and product quality. Don't be fooled by "Kingman" sold online, sold at junk prices, because it is junk. We buy mine-direct, in person, from the miners themselves. Despite the varied mining claim names, all these digs were taken from the famous Turquoise Mountain, Arizona mine-cluster in Mojave County. Turquoise Mountain is more accurately known, on older maps, as the Aztec Mountain, since numerous ancient Aztec mining operations were discovered by Chuck Colbaugh, and even by his predecessors as far back as 1914 - right there on our famous Turquoise Mountain!The mines and ancient tools were everywhere, and Chuck had them identified and authenticated by the Mexico City University Archaeological Department! The Kingman turquoise sent to the University with the ancient tools, was geologically matched to turquoise found in ancient Aztec ruins in Mexico!
