No marks but tested as sterling silver Kingman is first of all the name of a town located in the northwest of Arizona, not far from the border with Nevada. On Kingman outskirts, in the Mineral Park District, are located the three mines from which Kingman turquoise is extracted:

• The Kingman mine (the main one)

• Ithaca Peak Mine

• Turquoise Mountain Mine

Kingman turquoise is steeped in history and is considered the oldest American turquoise discovered by man: the Natives of the Southwestern United States are said to have discovered the mine over 1,000 years ago, and this turquoise would have been at the heart of the Native culture\'s jewelry designs.

To this day, this beautiful genuine turquoise with its varied hues is highly prized by Native American jewelers, international collectors and simply lovers of beautiful semi-precious stones! Among the large amount of turquoise that the Mineral Park District produces, high grade natural Kingman turquoise is very rare and appears to represent less than 1% of the mine\'s current production.
