Description: This Cab weighs 40.7 carats and is the last of rough taken from the New Lander Mine in the mid 1970's, This beauty was recently cut and polished by a master gem cutter in Durango Colorado. The cut is flawless and has wonderful polish. I obtained the rough in the mid 1970's in trade for ore from a Lander County mine I worked called the Blue Nugget. It was some of the very first ore taken out of the mine. To my knowledge there is no known original rough left at least not of this quality. Some refer to these stones as Turquoise, but in reality, they are known as Chalcosiderite, a close cousin to Turquoise. The New Lander Mine is located in Lander Country Nevada close to the famous Lander Blue Turquoise Mine. That mine is defunct, but Cabs from it are probably the most expensive in the world bringing up to $300.00 per carat. The black matrix is very similar to Lander Blue while the colors of the stones vary from different shades of green to blue and lighter blue.
