The Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine, located in Globe, Arizona, has long been celebrated as one of the most iconic sources of turquoise in the world. This mine gained its name from the mountain range nearby, which is said to resemble a sleeping woman lying on her back with arms crossed. What truly distinguishes Sleeping Beauty turquoise is its striking sky-blue color, often described as pure and serene. It is renowned for its lack of matrix or veining, which sets it apart as exceptionally pure and vivid. The mine has been a consistent source of high-quality turquoise since the early 20th century, and its stones have been sought after by artisans, jewelers, and collectors alike. Sleeping Beauty turquoise has a timeless beauty and a place of honor in Native American jewelry, where it is used to create stunning pieces that showcase the stone's natural allure. Sterling silver, marked. Each earring measures 1-1/4" long and 1/2" wide. The earrings weigh around 5 grams.
