American Mined Gemstones

This necklace is created using Nevada mined Variscite from the Broken Arrow mine. This necklace measures 28” long with a 1” extension at the clasp.

The Broken Arrow mine is located in the Candelaria Mining District in the western part of Nevada near Tonopah and is owned by the Otteson family. This particular mine produces both Turquoise and Variscite. It can be difficult to tell where the turquoise ends and the variscite begins. Some stones appear to even contain both.

✨Broken Arrow can look a lot like old Fox turquoise- the beautiful green kind. Broken Arrow comes in a variety of stunning shades of green. Pale to emerald-green, bluish green, colourless to white, pale shades of brown or yellow, rarely red; Colourless to pale green in transmitted light. Fun fact: Variscite was named after Variscia, an old name for Vogtland, the German district where the mineral was first discovered.
