The Sleeping Beauty mine is located outside of Globe, Arizona and produces blue to light blue turquoise with little to no matrix. Mined from its granite host rock, the Sleeping Beauty mine yields only a small amount of high quality turquoise, making it much more rare and valuable than the larger quantity of lower-grade turquoise it also produces. With the preponderance of turquoise enhanced (often called “stabilized”) from the Sleeping Beauty mine, the value placed on the high grade rises. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is one of the most highly revered and sought after stone, because of its light pale-blue color. The difference between this and other blue turquoise stones is that these turquoise pieces display little-to-no veins within the gem that is common for other types of turquoise. One of the main sources for this type of stone in America is actually Arizona’s own Sleeping Beauty Mine.
