Michael, Generally the water that leaches in a mine site has toxins in it that are unhealthy to continued breathing. The turquoise isn’t worth it. Thanks for the idea. I had never thought about it. jd

Jill, ENH to me would stand for Enhanced turquoise which is a treatment for medium grade turquoise. The mine it apparently came from would be Turquoise Mountain, probably the one near Kingman,AZ. I hope that helps. jd

Comment on Blue Diamond Mine by davonna

Blue Diamond like any other turquoise mine is categorized by depth of color and distribution of matrix. The best BD had a deep color with a chert (black) matrix that was evenly placed within a cabochon. BD wasn’t known for spiderweb but for the chert matrix.
