Indigenous Peoples are the original miners of all minerals because of a strong and respectful connection to the land. Often, these special sacred deposits were passed down through oral tradition. The New Lander Mine is located on the Lander Ranch in Lander County, Nevada. Distinctive spiderweb-like matrix and a light-green color are some identifying markers of New Lander turquoise, which is sometimes referred to as a variscite. Zuni stone carver Brian Yatsattie sources some of the best gifts from Mother Earth such as this New Lander turquoise specimen with which he sculpted an energizing Rattlesnake. A slightly lifted head and gorgeous rattle complete this roughly 2 1/4" long, 1/2" wide and 3/8" thick stunning reptile.
