Crow SpringsTurquoise Page 1

Crow Springs, also known as AnnJax or Bluebird, is located near Tonopah, Nevada and 27 miles as the crow flies, from the Royston turquoise mine. For 12 years, this rare stone has not been available until 3 years ago, when Dennis and Lucy Cordova took it over and began mining it again. The Smith family previously owned the mine. This family had been mining turquoise in Nevada since the 1870’s. In 1909, William Petry discovered a deposit one mile southwest of the Crow Springs claim. In 1939, Ann Cooper Hewitt, heiress to the Cooper Hewitt fortune, made from inventing the mercury-vapor lamp and the first fluorescent lighting, filed claim to the mine and built a home there, which she called AnnJax. from http://www.silversun-sf.com/turquoise_info/ajax.htm these natural cabochons were cut by Charles Valdez.
