Original Message:   Purple Kingman Mine Turquoise? Or "Purple Mojave" Turquoise

Can someone please tell me exactly what this is. I've heard it all in the marketing of it. But I am not convinced this is a "genuine nugget of Kingman Turquoise". I also know that Colbaugh now owns the mine. We all know no Turquoise comes out of the ground looking like this. It's clearly colorized, But there are those offering large nuggests for like $36.00. In my estimation this would be impossible. If it was all genuine Kingman turquoise, mined in that mine and only "colorized" it would cost a fortune. I believe its a composite. Mostly resin, color and bronze with a VERY small % of actual Kingman turquoise, (either crushed or very small nuggets ixed in) if any. What do you all think? I doubt even colorized Howlite would come this cheap. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
