The Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine, located near Globe, Arizona, was renowned for producing some of the most sought-after turquoise in the world. This mine was famous for its striking sky-blue turquoise, which had little to no matrix, giving it a smooth and uniform appearance often compared to the finest turquoise. Sleeping Beauty turquoise was widely used by Native American jewelry artists, particularly the Navajo and Zuni, who incorporated it into intricate silverwork, cluster designs, and inlay jewelry. Due to its exceptional quality and beauty, it became a favorite among collectors and artisans alike. Although the mine ceased turquoise mining operations in 2012 to focus on copper extraction, its turquoise remains highly prized, with natural, untreated stones becoming increasingly rare and valuable. The legacy of Sleeping Beauty turquoise endures, symbolizing the timeless appeal of American turquoise in jewelry and art. The center stone measures around 1/8" x 1/8". The ring size is around 9. Sterling silver. Sturdy 2 grams.
