TURQUOISE : hydrated copper and aluminum phosphate [CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8×4H2O]      

Welcome to the turquoise auction item page.  AKA  "The Block"

Where we hope our gems will be sold that haven't sold quickly enough here locally.

Most of our competition carefully tells the Number 8 Mine stories and history quite well. & So we leave it to them.*links included on site.

 Suffice it to say it is considered by many as very "Scarce" & even "Rarer than Gold."

 It is quite a bit more valuable to serious turquoise collectors, American investors and aficionados.
