Morenci Turquoise was mined in southeastern Arizona. It is high to light blue in color. Morenci has an unusual matrix of irregular black pyrite that, when polished, often looks like silver. Morenci turquoise is well known because it was one of the first American turquoises to come on the market. It is almost always natural, because it does not take the stabilization process well. It is very difficult to obtain now because the mine is depleted. It is now a very collectible turquoise.
