Gobi Lavender Turquoise is Also known as Golden Hills or Kazakhstan turquoise and it is special for many reasons. Discovered in 2013, Golden Hills turquoise comes from a deposit in the Golden Hills mine in Kazakhstan. The stone is a light blue color with a matrix that can be anywhere from a deep lavender to deep reds or browns. The Golden Hills mine sits in the hills of Kazakhstan where this turquoise is only mined in the winter months during the freezing cold and snow. They can’t mine it in the summer because of flooding in the area. Location and mining conditions make this gemstone very rare. (Thanks to Mike at Turquoise Matrix for the Mine information)
