Turquoise Encyclopedia--Non-American Mines

Starting a few threads to create a repository for verified turquoise examples for reference. To post a pic here, let’s define “verified” as you have provenance or the word of the person who mined or created the stone/piece and can say 100% that’s what mine it came from. As much as I treasure the expertise of this group, we probably shouldn’t count the collective guesses of the forum as verified, though. :sob:

Thought it’d be fun to see what we have and help everyone with identification! Non-American mines on this thread…go!! :grin:

Sonoran Gold (Mexico). These have some nice pyrite. A little hard to tell but the ring on the right is more of a minty green.
