Here is a little bit about Variscite/ Apache Turquoise from Durango Silver's web site.
This mine is locate on the west side of the Toiyabe Range several miles north of Austin, in Lander County. The deposit was not discovered until the 1990s. Thick veins of variscite ranging up to about 3 and a half inches are mined here. The varicite is generally light green with black mottled markings. Zones of higher quality darker green variscite nuggets have been uncovered in the deeper workings. This property has produced considerable quantities of variscite and is considered one of the worlds largest producers of that material. Initially, much of the material was marketed as "Apache Turquoise" but the name was retracted once a correct mineral identification was made. Several tons of high quality material have been produced. Looks stunning in gold and turquoise jewelry.
