The Pilot
Mountain turquoise mine, also known as the Montezuma
or Troy springs, is at the southern end of the Pilot
Mountains in Mineral county, Nevada and was discovered
in 1905 by William Miller of Tonopah. A hard turquoise
with colors ranging from a bright blue, to a dark blue
with a greenish cast, to very dark blue. Strong dark
brown limonite mottled patterns are associated with
this material. Pilot Mountain, though thin veined, is
a very beautiful gem turquoise. |
