Gold canyon turquoise

Hum, That’s a tough one. Gold canyon seems to be a trademark for a collection of mines in the AZ / Mexico border area. Gold Canyon AZ is the area next to my dad’s old town of Apache Junction AZ. Don’t know of turquoise finds there. While it does look like a Hubei province turquoise there are a lot of American mines that produce this pattern, Check out this site for a collection of turquoise with similar patterns. Hope this helps, Kyle

But then again I keep finding stuff like this…image
This bear bracelet by Navajo silversmith Robert Sorrell features a stunning slab of spiderweb turquoise from Arizona’s Gold Canyon Mine.

Also check out www.Durangosilver.com for a list of mines and examples of turquoise from those mines.
