Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is prized for its vivid, robin's egg blue color and minimal matrix, making it highly desirable for fine jewelry design. Dakota Stones offers this turquoise as a natural material, sourced from the renowned Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona. Its consistent color and smooth finish provide versatility for both classic and contemporary designs. Due to its relative softness, it is best suited for pieces that avoid heavy wear. Availability is limited, as the original mine is no longer active, increasing its value and collectability.
