- Come and explore the world of Nevada turquoise. Learn about the famous Nevada mines and how Nevada turquoise and Nevada gold are related. Its no accident that Nevada is both the biggest turquoise producer in the USA and also the biggest gold producer in the USA.
For those who want to learn more about Prospecting and finding gold check out my book, Fists full of Gold. It’s an encyclopedia of everything on the topic of prospecting. It’s available on from High Plains Prospectors. (Affiliate) You can find it at:

Can't understand how folks can complain about these excellent videos explaining the geology of Nevada and how it relates to turquoise and gold
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fascinating. Thanks for putting this together.
Now I'm watching Turquoise Mining & Ghost Town Relic Hunting again !!!!!
Great stuff as always Chris, THANK YOU
Glad you enjoyed a little bit about the blue stone from Nevada. and hey, Thank you!
Finally!!!! A video on how it’s formed
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
So beautiful. Can you send me a little piece of the beautiful stone?
I have some for sale.....
Great video! Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome video Chris. Living in the gold and turquoise belt like i do here in Northern Nevada, i always wondered how the two were related. Thanks for the great info.
There is a definite relation..... glad you enjoyed it.
I could have checked out a book in the library and read this at my leisure. I was expecting more pictures, not a "read along". One star.
One of my first videos and not my best, but hey I've gotten better.
MUCH appreciated
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Once again you've come up with an illuminating presentation. This time on a mineral that I find genuinely beautiful that's essentially been forgotten. I appreciate the way you tell the story from a historical and a geological perspective. I absolutely love the geological connection you made between gold and turquoise. You remind me of how minerals can be viewed more as beautiful pieces of nature, and how different that is from the notion of gold fever. But I have to ask if there's a market for turquoise based on weight like gold or if it's valued based on other subjective qualities?
There is absolutely a market for good quality turquoise and it is sold by the weight. It is different that gold in that the price is based on the quality, not a strict price per ounce like gold. Gold bars made of gold from Nevada are no different that gold bars made of African gold. Its all the same. Turquoise of is many different qualities of color, webbing patterns, hardness, etc.
Interesting and informational video. Thank you!!!
What is the relationship between chrysocolla and gold, is it the same as turquoise? I have a mine about 20 miles south of Luning that has a huge chrysocolla vein. I'm finding some micro fine in the chrysocolla/quartz. I'm hoping to find more of everything as we keep working it....
Its a relation of copper and gold. Both Chrysocolla and turquoise are copper minerals.
