Our hand-selected Otteson Turquoise pieces have all been named after significant events which happened in the family around their discovery.

This necklace hosts a stone mined in Western Nevada at the ElaMay Mine. The ElaMay claim was named after the newest addition to the Otteson family. Her kin were searching deep in the Nevada hills for turquoise when they struck a new claim. ElaMay was born on the very same morning they found this new vibrant strain.
Since 1902, the Otteson family based in Western Nevada has hand mined vibrant turquoise veins.

The family produces high-quality cabochons directly from the earth & takes pride in completing all steps from gently excavating to their polished finish.

Turquoise is revered through indigenous traditions to be a stone of great metaphysical power. According to local lore, it is the gateway between Heaven & Earth.
