Features prized, limited quantity, Arizona "Sleeping Beauty" turquoise, unique in color and quality. Lies close to the neck. 17½".
The Sleeping Beauty Mine is now a closed mine, making turquoise mined from it increasingly more valuable and precious. The gemstone got its name from the mountain where it is mined, which resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with her arms crossed.
