I appreciate seeing the mine, the operators and how the workers are doing. Besides being interesting it helps me see my purchases support these folks make a living. As always, I'm grateful for you sharing your knowledge and expertise.

I worked for Leonard Hardy from 1974 through 1979 beginning at Pinto Valley (Castle Dome) and ending up at Sleeping Beauty. Loved every minute of it. I started out as a picker and finished as a cat skinner. Really enjoyed your video on Kingman and am a new Subscriber! Thanks!

The gemstoners club in Kingman have tried to get a tour ,but no luck so far. We have toured the mineral park mine

Turquoise should be the cost of diamonds! So intensive to find it

[@pauldeasygemstones]

Well said. Years ago Tiffany and Company agreed and operated some turquoise mines in Nevada. True story!

[@jjohnson2560]

Im going to claim jump that mine

[@dashoverton1963]

I heard the owners of the mine often stain the tan matrix of natural Kingman turquoise with a black manganese stain, to make the matrix more contrasting and beautiful. Is this acceptable and does it lower the value of the turquoise? The turquoise isn’t stabilized, just stained.
