5ct Natural Sleeping beauty turquoise Cabochon (Backed)

17 x 9 x 5mm

The sleeping beauty turquoise mine is near Globe, Arizona. The stone received its name from the mountains around the mine, which are shaped like a sleeping woman. However, this mine closed in 2012. Regular turquoise is a popular blue stone that has a matrix (remnants of the rock it came from). But sleeping beauty turquoise is revered for its light blue color and clean look with little to no matrix. This material is totally natural unstabilised and has been backed.
