 Bisbee, Arizona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine.
By 1950, boom times were over and the population of the City of Bisbee had dropped to less than 6,000, but the introduction of strip mining and continued underground work would see the town escape the fate of many of its early contemporaries.
Bisbee is also known for high quality turquoise, called "Bisbee Blue".

 Fishing Tournament Millionaires | NicheGeek.com
In 1982 founder Bob Bisbee owned a fuel dock and fishing store, and his original vision for the tournament was merely to sell some tackle and have a good time fishing with his friends.
Bisbee launched his Marine Fuels and Sportfishing Headquarters in 1975 on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, Calif. The island was one of the last stops in the U.S. for boats heading south to fish off Cabo San Lucas, so the store specialized in big-game accessories and boat parts.
During its tournament, Bisbee's retains a biologist to examine every fish that comes in, looking for signs that it may have been frozen or its windpipe blocked, which would allow water to be pumped in to boost the fish's weight.

The blue is attributed to idiochromatic copper while the green may be the result of either iron impurities (replacing aluminium) or dehydration.
Arizona is currently the most important producer of turquoise by value, with the vivid Bisbee Blue being a good example of the state's natural endowment; much of the Arizona material is recovered as a byproduct of copper mining.
Richness of colour is the chief determiner of value in turquoise; generally speaking, the most desirable is a strong sky to "robin's egg" blue (in reference to the eggs of the American Robin); value decreases with the increase of green hue, lightening of colour, and mottling.
