Whoah, awesome! Up top looks like Persian to me, below that resembles maybe Sleeping Beauty, Sonoran Gold, Royston, Ithaca Peak and again Persian on the bottom. But my final guess is that it’s all Persian lol

I find myself seeing a lot of the same that @Bluegreen sees.

Top to bottom my guesses are… Lone Mountain or Kingman, clear blue Persian, Royston, Number 8 or Kingman (LOL), Ithaca Peak or Persian or Morenci (how’s that for hedging my bets), and then a whole bunch of different ones together :laughing:

We have a winner! :trophy: Yep! All natural Persian from a couple of different mines! From the cut it’s all pretty old material.

Oh my gosh I put in my response too soon :grin: I would have NEVER guessed the green turquoise (or the lighter blue below) is Persian.

And this is why we’re always telling new people that we are only guessing at what their turquoise is.

Pretty good hedging there @Ziacat :slight_smile:

Aww nuts, well that’s interesting. I didn’t know Persian had such a wide color variety. I was going guess sleeping beauty, royston, etc.

Or waffling :laughing:

At least I said Persian twice :grin:

We need to link this every time somebody wants us to tell them what their turquoise is.

I wish I could say it was mine but I can’t. It belongs to one of my clients who recently acquired it. Honestly the largest collection of high grade Persian I’ve personally seen since the late 70’s!

Your client is a lucky man or woman! It’s truly incredible, thanks for sharing!

I would love just a small handful of that stuff!

Honestly, Mike, I was going to say all Persian because of this reference I’ve shared a few times from the book, Turquoise Treasures: The Splendor of Southwest Indian Art.
