Black Arrow Jewelry & Art has offered Native American Made Kingman Turquoise Jewelry since 1996. The Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona is one of the largest turquoise mines in the southwest. Kingman blue has become a color standard in the industry, famous for its rounded bright blue nuggets with black matrix called Kingman Web Turquoise. Few turquoise mines produced nuggets, especially of this high grade. The Kingman mine re-opened in September 2004 after being closed since the 1970’s.
