The Kingman mine officially shut down during the 1970s. Later, there was a period of revival and eventually reopened in 2004. The Kingman mine also provided a large amount of turquoise to the Native American jewelry market throughout the twentieth century. Sometimes referred to as a high blue, Kingman jewelry is a magnificent contributor to modern fashion and an expression of humanity's connection to nature.
