    Morenci Turquoise was mined in southeastern Arizona. It is light blue to a dark sky blue in color.
    Morenci has an unusual matrix of irregular black pyrite, or fool's gold; when polished, the pyrite often looks like silver. It also is sometimes webbed in a darker shade of blue, called water webbed.
    There is a limited supply of Morenci Turquoise available now because the mine where it was found has been shut down since the 1970's.
    International orders will incur extra shipping charges.
