Known for its stunning robins-egg blue color with minimal matrix, Sleeping Beauty turquoise became highly sought after for its clean and vibrant appearance.

However, the mine ceased production in 2012, leading to increased rarity and desirability for Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Despite the mine's closure, the legacy of Sleeping Beauty turquoise lives on in countless pieces of jewelry, and its name remains synonymous with the allure of high-quality turquoise gemstones.
