About:
The Carico Lake mine is named after the dried up lake bed in Nevada where this unique material is mined. Due to the harsh conditions and remote location of the mine, Carico Lake has a very small yearly yield.
Carico Lake Turquoise has become very popular and highly collectible in recent years for its beautiful shades of a spring colored lime green with golden brown spiderweb matrix. The high zinc content gives the stone its astonishing lime-green color.
The colors and scarcity of Carico Lake turquoise make it a valuable. The Carico Lake Turquoise mine has been closed and there is a limited amount being let out into the market.
