The Easter Blue mine is
located northwest of Tonopah, Nevada a few miles from
the Royston district. Turquoise from this claim has
also been called Blue Mountain and Blue Gem. Compared
to some of the other deposits in Nevada, the Easter
Blue was never considered a large producer and changed
hands a number of times. It was discovered in 1907 and
the first material found was a fine blue color, usually
occurring in thin veins, later the mine produced a blue
green turquoise with a light to dark brown matrix. A
very pretty turquoise when set in silver.
