Real Kingman turquoise, an hour east on Highway 68.

The drive from Bullhead City

From Bullhead City, take Highway 68 east. The road climbs out of the river valley through the Black Mountains and drops you into Kingman in about sixty miles. Hour each way, easy round trip.

For the Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley side of town, same drive — pick up 68 just outside Bullhead and you're set.

Why locals make the trip

There aren't a lot of authenticated turquoise sources between Bullhead City and Kingman. Most shops in the river area carry imported pieces or stabilized stone. We're the closest source for real Kingman turquoise. A lot of our regular customers live on the Arizona side of the river and come up every couple months for a specific piece or to add to a stack.

What's in the case

• Turquoise rings — single-stone, cluster, custom builds
• Necklaces and pendants — drops to squash blossoms
• Bracelets and cuffs — heavy-gauge silver
• Earrings — studs, dangles, hoops
• Indigenous artisan pieces — signed Native work
• Custom design — bench work

For shoppers in Laughlin

If you cross the river to Laughlin regularly, our drive is the same. See the Laughlin page for the same trip from the Nevada side.
