Really high-grade and natural Kingman turquoise from Kingman, Arizona, is a rare and unusual occurrence. The reason being that the concessioners that have mined and marketed Kingman turquoise through the years have experimented heavily with treating and stabilizing the material. From the Hardy Turquoise Company in the 1970s, to those who shall not be named in today’s world, they have caused much confusion with Kingman because of their various methods of messing with the turquoise. We have spent much time and energy verifying the authenticity of the quality of Kingman turquoise that crosses the threshold of Twin Rocks Trading Post. Thus, our 100 percent guarantee of quality and satisfaction on Verdy Jake’s three-stone, traditional-style bracelet. This is an amazing piece of jewelry, one that Verdy and Twin Rocks are extremely proud of.
