- The Kingman mine is one of the oldest, largest, and the last active turquoise mine in the US. Located in the Acerbate Mountains of Arizona, it has been worked by native people for over a thousand years. It produces a range of colors but is most famous for its vibrant sky blue turquoise, similar to Sleeping Beauty, but with a bit more black matrix, but sometimes also brown or white.
