Aurora mine is located in the Carico Lake district of Nevada. There are three other main mines near by - Red Mountain, Nevada Blue and Northern Lights.
This is my first time using Aurora turquoise. I was immediately taken by the beautiful pastel lime green hue and how the light brown veins contrasted with the white edging. It reminds me of the characteristics often seen with Pilot Mountain stones.
