Carico Lake/Nevada Green Turquoise

These cabochons are radiant drops of liquid forest, captured in stone to mirror the earth's most vibrant pulse! The cabochons with this specific "apple green" or "lime green" hue are mined from the famous Carico Lake mine, Nevada. The matrix (the host rock) in these pieces appears as dark brown or blackish "splotches" and thin veins. This "mottled" look is very typical of the high-grade material coming out of this region. The shades range from a pure, solid "neon" green to pieces with more teal/blue-green mix. The "green turquoise" cabochons could also be high-quality Variscite, a sister mineral to Turquoise. Because of their intense, "electric" green hue, these stones carry a specific energy associated with vitality, renewal, and the heart. In color therapy, this specific shade of green resonates with the Heart Chakra. it is believed to help heal emotional wounds, encourage compassion, and open the heart to love and joy. Unlike the calming, "cool" energy of blue turquoise, these bright green stones are considered more "active." They are said to boost self-confidence, clear "brain fog," and provide a sense of renewed energy. Because of their rare "neon" color, these stones are highly prized by master silversmiths and goldsmiths. They are perfect for "halo" rings or necklaces where the stone is the undisputed star. High-grade green turquoise from specific mines like Carico Lake is increasingly rare. Collectors often keep these stones in "suites" (matching sets) as their value typically appreciates over time.
