About the stone: 

Sleeping Beauty turquoise comes from the famous Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona, and is cherished for its clear, robin’s-egg blue color and minimal matrix. Known for its purity and vibrant hue, it’s one of the most sought-after varieties of turquoise in the world. The mine has since closed, making this stone increasingly rare and collectible.

Turquoise is a sacred and highly valued stone in Native American cultures, symbolizing healing, protection, and a deep connection to nature, particularly the sky and water. It represents good fortune, strength, and spiritual communication. This stone is integral to ceremonies, rituals, and everyday life, where Native American tribes use it for healing, safeguarding, and even rituals intended to bring about rain.
