Number Eight (#8) turquoise comes from the Number Eight Mine in Eureka County, Nevada, north of Carlin. The mine became known for light blue to blue-green turquoise with golden-brown, black, red or brown matrix, including its classic fine spiderweb patterns. The mine is now closed to turquoise production, so material on the market comes from older stock.

Stabilized for durability and color retention over time, and backed for additional stability while setting and wearing.
