My first thought is China, but it also could be Kingman. Beautiful stone where ever it came from.

Welcome to Turquoise People. I think of this as more Chinese than Kingman, because of that kind of milky look around the webbing.

Thank you very much for the help, the pattern looks similar to the Chinese turquoise which is beautiful as well but the colors on this pendant appears to be more of a truer blue color than the green-ish blue in the photo of that one from China.

The Chinese Hubei Cloud Mountain that I have (several pieces) is blue. I also have green Chinese from a different mine but that is a completely different look. Beautiful turquoise!

Agree with @Islandmomma that Chinese turquoise varies in color. I go by matrix pattern more than color when considering whether a peice of turquoise is Chinese.

So cloud mountain it is!! Thank you very much for help identifying this for me with my turquoise fever as I’m slowly learning and gathering all the information I can about turquoise because I never appreciated it as much as I do now!! I’ve learned how to buy it so far but identifying the location is my joy now!
I have probably 4 more beauties that I would love to borrow your expertise, if that’s ok with you to help a novice collector.
Many thanks gentlemen!

Post away, but remember a lot of mines mimic each other. There are very few mines one can say with 100% accuracy are exactly what they claim to be. But is fun trying.

@Blackturtlehawk Note: It hasn’t been confirmed by members as Cloud Mountain, but as most likely Chinese. As you’ll see, people stay cautious about firm attributions if something has been disconnected from its point of sale or from reliable seller info.
Getting into turquoise requires a lot of time and attention to detail…which will grow with you!
