Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Set

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is mined in the Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Globe, Arizona. The profile of the mountain looks much like a woman lying down. Originally a copper mine, the turquoise that is obtained from this area comes in many shapes and sizes. But one thing runs true, it is considered to be the finest turquoise in the world. It is the only true blue turquoise with little or no veining. Only a limited amount of Sleeping Beauty remains to be mined and should be cherished for the exceptional gem it is.

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise three-drop earrings are set in 14K Gold with14K Gold 5mm ball posts and chain. Please see Library for glossary of jewelry terms.

The three-drop earrings measure 1 1/8″L x ½ “W.
