Stone: Sonoran Gold Turquoise

Relatively new in the market, this beautiful turquoise comes in an aqua blue, lime green, and a two-tone blue and green. Unlike most turquoise, Sonoran Gold is not mined in veins, but rather as individual nuggets typically found in clay deposits. Sonoran Gold is mined in Mexico, near the City of Cananea.
