About the Fox Mine:

The Fox Turquoise mine, located near Lander County and discovered in the early 1900's, was once Nevada's largest producer of turquoise with some half million pounds. At that time, Mr. Dowell Ward, the mine operator, amassed one of the largest collections of turquoise rock. This mine has been closed for quite some time.

In prehistoric times, indigenous peoples mined turquoise and found large nuggets. The different sites of Fox deposits were developed using the names of Fox, White Horse, Green Tree, and Smith to differentiate among the colors of turquoise produced in the area, and to create a larger perceived share of the turquoise market. Collectively, the area produces a huge quantity of good-quality green or blue-green stone with buy a distinctive matrix. Blue Fox turquoise is more accurately known as “White Horse Fox,” as that is the area of Lander County where the blue variation has been found. The Fox mine has also been known as the Cortez mine.

I will be listing a variety of colors and grades from this mine over time.

Fox turquoise is still available in limited quantities.



Investment:


The small percent of available natural Fox turquoise as well as it's history makes it valuable addition to any collection. There are times when the prices of turquoise will drop, but it is rare. My experience is that they consistently rise, due to supply and demand. The supply of good American turquoise continues to decrease.

Natural American turquoise is only a small percentage of the American turquoise sold on the world market today. Much of the current supply has been stabilized or enhanced due to the very limited quantity of good natural stone.

The best bang for your buck, as an investment, is to buy 100% natural stones.

Guarantee:

If the stone/stones do not completely fulfill your expectations, simply repackage them in the package I sent them to you in, put a new address label on the front and return to me for a refund of your purchase.


One More Note:

I have done my best to get the most accurate representation of the stone/stones. I have noticed that the photos look slightly different on different computers, and with different lighting, etc. I take the photos under natural light with a quality camera or iPhone and with no alterations. Other than cropping, you will find no color, clarity, or photo enhancements of any kind. I can assure you that the photographs do not do any stone true justice in my mind.

I am selling these from my personal collection. I have been a collector for most of my adult life. I have Native American jewelry, arts, crafts and a collection of turquoise stones from a variety of U.S. Mines.

Check my other items frequently. I will be adding to the inventory regularly.
