Do you know where the autumn creek turquoise is from. I have some and want to know it origin.thanks

[@tattoofthesun]

Yeah! It’s from the Kingman Mine family AKA the Colbaugh processing. What they do is they take old chalky turquoise and stabilize and dye it. I don’t know how they dye it but it’s gorgeous and looks completely natural

I am not familiar with that. Nice to see tattoofthesun is.

Very nice collection Mike! Thanks for describing the variations .Indeed on my claim there's quite a range of material I've always thought the whiter, More pale material I've worked Was chalk,although it doesn't stick to the tongue! Maybe just white ,pale variscite! Not real Impressive ,takes a high polish though!

Thanks Mike for refreshing Me about the chalcosiderite,varisite, occurence with turquiose! I have a pediment on my claim with all of the above deposited. Hard to tell what's what! Good to know varisite can be white! I liberated a little of that material on my last session. Probably not much value in the gem market though.

You are welcome

[@ZinniaZinniaZinnias]

Early Broken Arrow Varisite sure has deep green characteristics,very striking! I might text a pic if you care to see some
