Item Description
Superlative, sparkly, best color, sky-blue turquoise microcrystals richly cover matrix on this stunning and very showy thumbnail specimen from the locality with the best turquoise crystals in the world - the Bishop Mine at Lynch Station, Virginia. Discrete, well-formed turquoise crystals are very rare in nature and this is a REALLY good one from the best locality known for the species, most would say. Classic for the old locality, and seldom seen today. The blue color on this piece is dazzling. Ex Irv Brown Thumbnail Collection. Valued $100.
