Description
 
This beautiful Lander Blue cab measures 8mm x 11mm x 4mm thickness. The weight 2.4 carats. The color is a vivid, soft blue with a black webbed contrasting matrix. The small Lander stones we have available were originally purchased from Bob Johnson, one of the owners of the mine. This stone is backed. Note: the white spots are light reflection.

The Lander Blue turquoise mine in Lander County, Nevada is located between Battle Mountain and Tenabo. Found in 1973 it produced some of the most beautiful spider-webbed turquoise ever discovered. Today it is considered the most valuable turquoise known. Lander Blue is almost entirely spider-webbed turquoise with colors from medium to deep blue and a black contrasting matrix. Although some other grades were found only approximately 100 - 200 pounds of the beautiful spider-web turquoise was mined. Because of its rarity and value, there seems to be more Lander Blue for sale than was ever mined. With very little provenance available when buying beautiful Lander Blue, this material has truly become a case of ”Buyer Beware.”
