Purple Mohave Turquoise is a distinctive variety of turquoise that comes from the Kingman Mine in Arizona. It’s made by stabilizing natural Kingman turquoise and mixing it with minerals like copper or brass to enhance its color. This creates a stunning mix of vibrant purples, blues, and greens with intricate matrix patterns.
Despite its name, Purple Mohave Turquoise doesn’t start out purple—it begins as classic blue Kingman turquoise and goes through a dyeing and fusion process to get its signature purple shade.
