Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Pendant

Pure sky blue natural Turquoise has always been highly coveted. The Sleeping Beauty Turquoise mine is one of the few Turquoise mines in the world that used to consistently produce true sky blue Turquoise without matrix. For most of the mines existence the Turquoise was very reasonably priced, but once the mine closed in 2012 the price sky rocketed and the fine American Turquoise became scarce almost over night. Today Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is some of the most highly coveted and collected Turquoise in the world. In 2012 a jewelry could buy wholesale Sleeping Beauty Turquoise rough for around $250.00 per lbs (depending on grade), today this same material is bringing over $2500.00 per lbs and the true high grade is simply unavailable! With this in mind we have been making as much jewelry as we can with are old stash of 100% natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. One of our favorite things to make are Turquoise Pendants.
