The Tortoise Turquoise Mine produces many variations of Brown Turquoise that are excitingly different than other types of Turquoise.

Crystal Hartman started with the Stone and applied layer after layer of wax to build up a high relief design that is very dimensional. The Ring on the right has a Tortoise Turquoise Stone that ranges from mint green to caramel to deep brown with black spiderweb matrix, it is very pleasing to the eye.

Here are two different pieces of Brown Turquoise Jewelry from the Tortoise Turquoise Mine. The rectangular shaped Ring on the left has a bezel set deep brown Turquoise Stone that has black webbed matrix. The Tortoise Turquoise Ring on the right has a very unusual stone, the Turquoise is primarily mint green that has a caramelised colored mineralization that occurred in its development. This stone shows how that Brown Turquoise from the Tortoise Mine is Turquoise, It is Turquoise that has been caramelized over the years of its development by the surrounding host rock bleeding into the Turquoise minerals. Bleeding of color's in Turquoise from this area of Nevada have also been found in many other mines, however, it is usually blues into greens.

Once we started cutting it into cabochons, we were totally swept off our feet with the outstanding beauty each individual stone had.

It seems like any type of Jewelry item we put Brown Tortoise Turquoise in is a hit, people just love this new color, and as you can see above Brown Turquoise from the Tortoise Turquoise Mine is Natural and is unique to itself.
