Comments: One of the deepest blue specimens to come out of the Courtland Ghost Town mines in 2019. The patches of quartzite host rock remind me of standing on a cliff in Italy observing the distant volcanic islands with their mountains protruding through the azure blue Mediterranean Sea on a bright summer day. There is a small fracture line on the turquoise in the upper left corner but this does not have a structural impact on the stone. I hope you enjoy this exceptional piece as much as I do. –Michael O., Courtland Ghost Town
