The Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Mine, situated in Globe, Arizona, holds a special place in the world of turquoise. Renowned for its pure, sky-blue hue, this mine produced some of the most sought-after turquoise for decades. What distinguishes Sleeping Beauty turquoise is its vivid, robin's egg blue color, devoid of the heavy matrix that often characterizes other varieties. This clarity and consistency in color made it a favorite among jewelry makers and artisans seeking a clean, vibrant stone for their creations. While the mine ceased production in 2012, the legacy of Sleeping Beauty turquoise lives on through the stunning jewelry pieces that continue to captivate aficionados around the world, leaving an indelible mark on the history of American gemstones. The thimble measures about 1" x 3/4". The stones measure around 1/8" x 1/8". Sterling silver, marked. Sturdy 3 grams.
