Colbaugh Kingman Turquoise Mine | Hannah Blount Jewelry
Hannah Blount Jewelry's beloved Kingman turquoise comes from none other then Colbaugh Processing's mine in Arizona. The city of this historic, natural wonder actually predates the statehood of AZ, and was originally mined by the Native Americans.

Commercial mining of the Mineral Park Mine began in the 1880s; the Colbaugh family has owned and operated Kingman facilities since the start of Arizona's turquoise mining boom.
