A brief presentation on natural American Turquoise from the famous Morenci Turquoise mine in Southeastern Arizona. Dillon Hartman from Durango Silver Company gives examples of beautiful natural American Turquoise in rough, cabochon, and jewelry form. Learn a brief history of the mine as well. • The Morenci turquoise mine is located in Greenlee County, Arizona. The Morenci mine was initially mined for its copper deposits. Equipment operators would “lunch box” blue high-quality turquoise away from the mine and sell to collectors. The turquoise found at Morenci eventually became worth more than the copper. • Brief History of the Morenci Turquoise mine : • From 1956 to 1984 the turquoise rights were granted to William” Lucky “Brown, who also owned the Villa Grove Mine in Colorado. Production was mined in large quantities and sold through the family-owned station in New Mexico and Arizona. The Morenci copper mine is the largest in the United States and still produces more than 750,000,000 pounds of copper per year. • We hope you enjoyed our presentation.
