Morenci Turquoise:

The Morenci Turquoise is located in southeastern Arizona. This mine was a large producer of turquoise which was used in Southwest Native American Jewelry. It is high to light blue in color. Morenci has an unusual matrix of irregular black pyrite that, when polished, often looks like silver. Morenci turquoise is well known because it was one of the first American turquoise to come on the market. It is very difficult to obtain now because the mine has been depleted for many years and is a very collectible turquoise.
