Discover the rare beauty of Dry Creek Turquoise, a gemstone found on the Shoshone Indian Reservation near Battle Mountain, Nevada. The mine was stumbled upon in 1993 but its unusual hardness and color confused, leading to an assay that confirmed its identity as turquoise. This turquoise boasts a creamy pastel-blue and blue-white hue, attributed to its slightly heavier balance of aluminum instead of copper in its chemistry. Despite the distinct lack of heavy metals in the area, the turquoise remains very hard and is only found in limited quantities.
