Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is from Globe, Arizona.

• It is famous for it’s sky blue color and famous for both turquoise with matrix and turquoise without matrix.
• Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, without matrix, has traditionally been a favorite for Zuni Inlay jewelry. This is due to it’s uniform color and clarity.
• Sleeping Beauty is named after the mountain range where it is mined. The mountain range, seen from a distance, looks like a ladies profile.

The mine is now closed, making this a sought after variety of turquoise.

• These particular cards are direct from the owners of the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise mine.
• These carded nuggets are some of the last marketed pieces of turquoise as the Sleeping Beauty Mining company is liquidated.
