The Turquoise Mountain mine produced distinctive stones with a wide range and variety of unique blue and green colors with both webbed and non-webbed matrix. The "Birds Eye" variety consist of stones that show areas of light blue circled with dark blue matrix, resembling the eye of a bird. Although Turquoise Mountain is located within the boundaries of the Kingman deposits, it is considered a classic mine in its own right because its turquoise is so distinctive in appearance. The mine is said to have derived its name from a comment made upon discovery, "This is a mountain full of turquoise". Material from Turquoise Mountain has also been sold as ÒOld ManÓ or ÒOld Man Mine TurquoiseÓ, "Ceremonial", "Ithaca Peak", "The Wall" and many more.
