    Description

    This natural stone was mined in the early 1970's at the Blue Nugget Mine that was located 2 miles N by NW of Tenabo, NV up Indian Creek. The mine was operated for one season by a group out of Denver of which I was a part.  Most of the production was sold to the retail public and no other quanity exists of which I am aware.  The small production was mined out that season. This stone was cut and polish by professionals.
    It is a high quality piece with devcon backing and is a true gem stone.  Colors from the mine ranged from light green to blue green to blue and most had a gold matrix.  The deposit was mined briefly in a prior period and is mentioned in the 1974 6th addition of Pogue "Turquoise" .  These are truly rare Cabs. I will be offering a few from time to time as I only have a few left.  I have sold these cabs as high as .00 per carat, but am offering them at a bargain price so someone can enjoy the beauty of these gem stones.
