Number 8 Turquoise is considered one of the great classic American turquoise mines. It is located in the Lynn Mining District in Eureka County, Nevada, just north of Carlin. The first claim was filed in 1929 by Earl Buffington and Lawrence Springer and thereafter a number of well-known turquoise miners owned the mine. In 1950, one of these owners, actually brothers discovered some of the best spider web turquoise ever found while looking for copper. The Edgar brothers, T.G and J.W., found over 1600 pounds of this very high-grade turquoise. The Number 8 mine was closed in 1976.
