Why we source Turquoise world wide

Why we source Turquoise World Wide

Seven Countries, One Story

Dakota Stones carries turquoise from seven countries because we genuinely can't get enough of it.

The Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, known for rich, sky blues, and a pure organic look, stopped producing turquoise in August 2012!

Genuine Sleeping Beauty strands are becoming more and more difficult to restock because the mine has not produced any new Sleeping Beauty turquoise in nearly 15 years!

Mined in Arizona, Authenticity in every bead

Turquoise's Ancient Homelands

Hubei, China

Long before turquoise became the signature of the American Southwest, it was being mined, carved, and treasured half a world away. In the mountains of Hubei Province, central China, turquoise has been worked for nearly four thousand years. Set into bronze, ground for ornament, and prized by dynasties that rose and fell while the stone continues to be supplied by the region.

The Copper Desert

Sonora, Mexico

What surfaces near Cananea today is the newest chapter of that very old story: turquoise found not in veins of rock, but cradled in pockets of desert clay, surfacing as smooth, sun-colored nuggets.

Sonoran turquoise wears its homeland in its color — bold desert blues, deepened with green, drawn straight from the copper-rich earth that made this region famous. It's turquoise the way the desert makes it.

From the copper country of northern Sonora

Composite Turquoise and the company they keep

Authentic with a dash of personality

Ever wonder what happens to turquoise that is too small to become a bead?

It gets collected in a brick shaped container and filled with a composite material to bind the turquoise material back into a stone size brick.

During this process, it gets dyed and shaped, with the end result being Authentic Turquoise gemstone beads filled with creativity.
