Sleeping Beauty Turquoise

The Sleeping Beauty Mine outside Globe, Arizona, is world-famous for its production of gorgeous and extremely expensive gem Turquoise. I am offering both unstabilized and stabilized Sleeping Beauty pieces. Unstabilized is Sleeping Beauty in its natural state; stabilization strengthens the stone and deepens its color, but they both are the same wonderful material. These unstabilized pieces strike the eye at first with the pure, uniform Sleeping Beauty color, but upon close inspection, some of them have gorgeous variations that look like water patterns. A few proclaim their naturalness by showing bits of matrix. All pieces are backed, a common practice found in natural turquoise, which keeps the stone strong.
