From what I have read about Indian Mountain it is pretty high up and isn’t mined except part of the year because of deep snow. I don’t think there has been heavy equipment used except once because of the difficulty of getting it to the mine. I’m also pretty sure the article says that there is about 3.5 lbs brought out per day late May through early October. I feel fortunate to have two pieces that came with provenance from the previous owner.
I also own a number of beautiful pieces with beautiful Chinese turquoise. Some have become pretty valuable in recent years.
Beautiful necklace that was shown above!
