The Tyrone mine sits in Grant County in the high desert of southwestern New Mexico ancient Mimbres and Apache country, land that has been worked and revered for over a thousand years. One of the largest open-pit copper operations in North America, the mine has yielded turquoise as a byproduct of that excavation for well over a century, producing stones of remarkable color complexity and character.

What makes Tyrone turquoise exceptional and increasingly rare is its color diversity. Where many turquoise mines produce stones of relatively uniform hue, Tyrone yields a wide spectrum: sky blue, teal, green-blue, and rich matrix patterns in brown, tan, and gold that reflect the iron and copper-rich host rock of the region. Spider web matrix Tyrone where fine veins of host rock form a delicate lace-like network across the stone’s surface is among the most prized formations in the collector world, requiring a precise mineral environment to form and impossible to replicate or enhance.

Natural, untreated Tyrone turquoise is increasingly difficult to source. The open-pit copper operation that produces it prioritizes copper extraction turquoise is recovered incidentally, in limited and unpredictable quantities. What reaches the hands of silversmiths is a small fraction of what the earth produces. This stone comes from New Mexico ground, worked by New Mexico hands, and set in silver in Taos  as close to its origin as a stone can get without still being in the earth.
