Collection: Black Jack

The Blackjack Turquoise Mine, located in Tonopah, Nevada, is a relatively new and highly acclaimed source of premium American turquoise. Owned and operated by the Otteson family renowned for their generational mining history. This specific deposit is celebrated for its rare, high-contrast "polychrome" aesthetic. The gem is structurally distinct for its vibrant, ribbon-like veins of intense sky blues, deep greens, and occasional flashes of orange running through a hard, dark host rock composed of black chert or shale matrix. Because the dark matrix polishes beautifully alongside the dense, high-grade turquoise, stones from this mine are prized by lapidaries, high-end jewelry makers, and private collectors for their unique depth and dramatic color contrast.
