6.9ct Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Pear Cut Dangle Earrings Sterling Silver

It is one of the most prized forms of turquoise for jewellery due to its pure sky blue colour and rarity. This Sleeping Beauty Turquoise gemstone is an absolute must have to add to your collection.

Sleeping beauty turquoise can be found in the south-western part of the United States in Arizona. However, the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona ceased turquoise mining in August 2012. The mine chose to send all ore to the crusher and to concentrate on copper production due to the rising price of copper. Thus the price of natural untreated Sleeping Beauty turquoise has risen dramatically since the mines closing and with no plans to reopen the turquoise mine, what is left of the Sleeping Beauty turquoise rough stones is going fast. The stone got its name because the mountain where it is mined resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with arms crossed. Its pure colour and natural strength make Sleeping Beauty Turquoise a favourite for jewellery makers and artists around the world.
