36 Inch Sleeping Beauty Turquoise

Unearthed from the storied Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona, this 36-inch strand of natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise beads embodies a legacy of vivid color and exceptional quality. Renowned for its pure, perfect robin’s egg blue, this turquoise turquoise has been coveted by collectors and artisans alike since its discovery. The mine, named for the mountain range it inhabits—whose silhouette resembles a sleeping woman—ceased production in 2012, making these gemstones increasingly rare and sought-after.

These smooth, uniform beads capture the essence of Southwestern tradition while maintaining a refined simplicity. Free from matrix, the turquoise showcases a clarity and saturation that are unmatched, a result of natural formation over millions of years. 

Whether layered with gold chains or paired with other vibrant gemstones, this Sleeping Beauty turquoise strand is an heirloom-worthy addition for those who appreciate rarity and the enduring allure of American-mined gemstones.
