Rough Gems:
Crystals, Rough and Turquoise
We have mined or
acquired some very rare and special crystal specimens, gem rough and other
specimens.
We are offering these crystals and other specimen materials as inventory permits,
which means first come , first served. Most of these crystals are one of a kind
items.
All-Natural Nevada Turquoise Rough:
Our first priorities
for the turquoise we mine is to meet our needs for cut cabochon stones and our premium
turquoise Jewelry. Unfortunately, at this time, there is not enough stock to meet
the high demands of our other lines and still have sufficient material left to supply as rough to those who would like to purchase
turquoise in this form. As a result, the number of our rough turquoise lots are
very limited. Check back, as we hope to be able to offer more rough
turquoise soon.

We own and mine 3
turquoise mines here in Nevada. Nevada is the source of some of the world's
finest turquoise. There is a lot of information about our mines here on this
website. All our turquoise rough is from our mines.

Tourmaline Crystals-
We have both crystals suited for mineral collectors as well as pencil shape
crystals that would be great for wire-wrap jewelry. A number of these are gem or near gem
quality.

Tanzanite Crystals -
Tanzanite
does not normally come in fine crystal shapes, and often when it does the crystals are
more valued by the miners as rough for gem cutting than they are for
specimens. So finding tanzanite crystals for sale
on the market is fairly rare. Most of these are on the smallish side, but would make
both a fine specimen and some
fine wire-wrap jewelry.
