The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and highest producing Turquoise Mines in America. It was originally discovered by prehistoric Indians well over 1000 years ago. Kingman Turquoise is known for its beautiful sky blue color and produces many variations of blue Turquoise. The Kingman Turquoise mine also produces green Turquoise from the Turquoise Mountain side of the mine. Kingman Turquoise has been the biggest supplier of Turquoise to the Southwest Industry for nearly as long as the American Turquoise Jewelry industry has existed. In fact, the Kingman Turquoise mine was once part of a Turquoise boom around 1000 AD when the Mayan culture was using a lot of Turquoise for self adornments and ceremonial items. Today, as in the old times, Blue Turquoise from Kingman, Arizona is king, even though the mine produces all colors of Turquoise and Purple Turquoise is almost becoming Blue Turquoise's equal in popularity these days.

In Native American cultures, turquoise is seen as a sacred stone that embodies the spirit of the sky and sea. Navajo babies receive a string of turquoise beads at birth, and the stone is used at other significant life milestones, such as puberty, marriage, and death.
