Wear this lariat by itself or layer it with some pearls. This is a very versatile piece.
The Pilot Mountain mine is located in western Nevada, east of the town of Mina. As with most turquoise mines, this mine opened as a copper claim. Pilot Mountain turquoise was first mined in 1930 as a tunnel mine then it became an open pit. While Pilot Mountain is considered an active mine, it is a very small operation.
Pilot Mountain turquoise forms in hard veins with color ranging from bright blue to dark blue with a greenish cast. Dark brown limonite mottled patterns are associated with this material. Most Pilot Mountain turquoise is called “grass roots”, meaning the best deposits are found within ten feet of the surface.
