Carico Lake Turquoise has been around for a long time and was once one of the mines that produced a large amount of the Turquoise for the Native American Indian Jewelry business. The Carico Lake Turquoise mine Produces Lime Green Turquoise as well as blue Turquoise. This Nevada Turquoise mine is most famous for it's Lime Turquoise with light golden brown spider webbing.

High grade Carico Lake Turquoise is truly magnificent and it is also very rare! Only a small percentage of the Turquoise that is taken out of all the Turquoise mines, worldwide, is high grade and it was certainly no exception at Carico Lake Turquoise Mine. You can surely expect Carico Lake Turquoise to only increase exponentially in value as the mine has been closed and there is a limited amount of Carico Lake Turquoise being let out into the market. Carico Lake Turquoise is now being tightly controlled and protected so it does not become one of America's tragic Turquoise stories such as Lander Blue, #8, Bisbee and other that were just squandered away and lost to the history of our past.
Durango Silver Co has access to all grades of Carico Lake Turquoise and we truly admire the high grade Turquoise that has been taken out of that mine. Visit our site to see our offerings of Carico Lake Turquoise in silver and gold Turquoise Rings, Earrings and other Jewelry specialty items.
