Cortez Canyon Gems is a Nevada turquoise operation producing rare mint‑green to lime-green turquoise from a modern extension of the historic Orvil Jack mineral trend. We mine, document, and photograph every piece ourselves, offering natural rough, slabs, cabochons, and wholesale lots with verified provenance.

The Canyon Story

    A seam of green turquoise runs through a forgotten ridge in Nevada.

    Mining

    From heavy equipment to hand tools:
    every strike uncovers a story.

    Cutting

    From stone to light:
    the turquoise emerges, luminous against its limestone origin.

    Finishing

    From light to form:
    the artist shapes the next chapter the canyon began.
