Lander Blue is a legendary mine in Lander County Nevada. The history of Lander Blue is found in Turquoise in America Part Two 1910-1990. Bob Brucia and I purchased a squash blossom necklace that was made in the 1970’s and was authenticated by Bob as Lander Blue.
 
This cabochon weighs 5.5 carats and measures 1.5cm X 1.25cm. It is priced at $400 a carat or $2200. As with most Lander Blue there is some surface treatment and it is backed. I have assigned a TG of 94 or GG.
