Candelaria turquoise comes from the silver mine owned by the Silver Standard Company and is only mined sporadically as the area has been mostly exploited for the silver and gold which made the area famous since the mid-1800s. The turquoise produced here ranges from deep electric blue to medium greens with black, red and brown matrix.
