Fox Turquoise Mine:
 
While closed for some time the Fox Turquoise mine, located near Lander County and discovered in the early 1900’s, was once Nevada’s largest producer of turquoise with some half million pounds. At that time, Mr. Dowell Ward, the mine operator, amassed one of the largest collections of turquoise rock.

In prehistoric times, indigenous peoples mined turquoise and found large nuggets. The different sites of Fox deposits were developed using the names of Fox, White Horse, Green Tree, and Smith to differentiate among the colors of turquoise produced in the area, and to create a larger perceived share of the turquoise market. Fox Turquoise can be found in various shades of green and blue with both often occurring in the same stone. The higher grade material is quite hard, though much of the stone produced required treatment to be used in jewelry.
