Lander Blue turquoise is one of the rarest and most coveted turquoises ever discovered, prized for its intense, deep blue color and striking black spiderweb matrix. Mined only briefly in Nevada in the 1970s, its limited production and unmistakable beauty have made it legendary among collectors, jewelers, and turquoise enthusiasts. Each stone carries a rich sense of history and exceptional quality, making Lander Blue pieces some of the most sought-after in the world.
