428B RARE TURQUOISE IN QUARTZ CAB FROM BLUE MOON MINE, CANDELARIA HILLS, NEVADA

Description

HERE IS A RARE PIECE.  THIS CAB IS TURQUOISE IN QUARTZ, THERE WAS A NICE NODULE OF THIS MATERIAL FOUND ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND IT MADE FOR SOME STUNNING CABS.  UNUSUAL MATERIAL AND FIRST FROM THIS MINE I'VE SEEN.  ALL NATURAL AND NO NEED TO BACK IT SINCE THE MATRIX FROM THIS NODULE IS QUARTZ WITH SOME BRECCIATED CHERT.
THE BLUE MOON MINE IS
ANOTHER ONE OF THE MANY FAMOUS TURQUOISE MINES IN THE CANDELARIA HILLS LOCATED NORTH OF
TONOPAH
,
NEVADA
.
THIS MATERIAL IS USUALLY A LIGHT TO MEDIUM BLUE IN A HARD BLACK CHERT MATRIX THAT TAKES A VERY GOOD POLISH, PRODUCING SOME OUTSTANDING CABS.
OCCASIONALLY IT WILL HAVE A TAN MATRIX ALSO BUT MOST OF THE MATERIAL HAS A BLACK MATRIX.
THIS MINE ALSO PRODUCES SMALL QUANTITIES OF VERY NICE SPIDER WEB MATERIAL AND ALSO SOME TURQUOISE THAT IS LIGHT BLUE WITH DARKER BLUE VEINS THAT IS VERY PRETTY.
OVER THE YEARS THIS MINE SAW SMALL SCALE PRODUCTION BUT LATELY THE NEW OWNERS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING MORE MATERIAL, INCLUDING SOME REALLY TOP GRADE SPIDER WEB TURQUOISE.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE BLUE MOON MINE (ALSO KNOWN AS THE BLUE STAR) LOCATED N.E. OF
FALLON
,
NV
.
A VERY PRETTY CAB.  BEAUTIFUL BLUE TURQUOISE WITH QUARTZ AND BRECCIATED BLACK CHERT MATRIX.  A BIGGER CAB FOR A REAL SHOW PIECE.
THIS CAB MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 42mm x 55mm AND IS ABOUT 9mm THICK.  WEIGHT IS 163 CARATS.  PHOTO TAKEN OUTSIDE IN NATURAL LIGHT.  SEE RULER FOR SCALE.
