Tiny-small turquoise pieces, all treated, deep green-blue in color. Approximate weight 965 grams. Pieces in the lot range from around .2" to .75" in length. This turquoise originates from the No. 8 turquoise mine of Cortez, Nevada, often considered one of the top turquoise mines in the world. It was previously in storage for 35 years. These turquoise pieces were treated in the 1970s in pioneering turquoise experiments by a professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.
