Orvil Jack Discovered and Developed the Mine in Northern Nevada that produces the Green Turquoise that bears his name. Orvil Jack moved his family to Lander County Nevada in 1956. The mining claims he developed are known as the Blue Ridge in Crescent Valley. Originally Orvil sought the blue turquoise from the mine and the rare green color comes from a high zinc content.
