    I lived in Az when I was a kid . My Dad worked for The Kennecott copper corp at Ray mines located near Kearny Az . They allowed visitors and we went on school field trips there . They kept a large pile of rocks near the entrance for visitors to take some home . They would make a scoop of the raw material from the bottom of the pit and bring it to the top for the pile. It was full of chunks of turquoise with copper mix around it some with crystals mixed in the turqoise absolutely stunning in this form . It looks more blue than the kingman turquose .I kept every piece and keep them inside my home on display
