Here are some more cabs from this awesome mine..Tony once told me during my over 20 years dealing with him that he had seen every color of the rainbow come from the Damele mine..so as I find these different colors as I cut stones I will try and post them here

The Damele mine has been owned and operated by Tony Cotttner the last 28 years..I have dealt with Tony for many of these years and being able to buy and work Damele turquoise has been an extreme pleasure for me up until now Sadly Tony passed away back in 2016 and will be missed..I was able to acquire the Damele mine in 2017 and I Jim Saunders am now the only mine direct source for Damele turquoise..all others selling mine direct have either stolen or poached the turquoise which is illegal and not to be supported and by supporting could be part of a lawsuit for this activity. Lets keep every thing pure and support healthy Karma in our work and practice as it will come back good or bad....More to come on this mine..I will give a history as I can find it and provide lots of pictures and progress on owning and working this old and well known mine...
