The Nevada
Blue became famous in the 1970’s with its beautiful
turquoise and its wide spread use by most all of the
well-known Native American jewelers, including Charles
Loloma and Lee Yazzie. Discovered by Jim Watts in 1901
and first known as the Watts mine then the Pinto, Nevada
Blue ranges in color from sky blue to a rich dark blue
with a reddish brown or sometimes black spider-webbing.
