✦ About Blackjack Turquoise

Blackjack turquoise comes from Nevada and is known for its striking blue-green coloring and dramatic natural matrix. Unlike more uniformly colored turquoise, Blackjack often features vivid ribbons and patches of color surrounded by deep brown, charcoal, or nearly black host rock, sometimes accented by warm, earthy tones.

The Otteson family, longtime Nevada turquoise miners and lapidaries, are closely associated with Blackjack turquoise. Their work brings out the distinctive patterns and rich color contrasts that make this material particularly appealing to collectors and jewelry artists.

Each Blackjack turquoise cabochon is naturally unique, with its own combination of color, matrix, and pattern. These bold characteristics make it especially striking when paired with detailed, antiqued sterling silver.
