Please examine all photos closely for condition before purchasing!🧐 Approximate measurements Ring Size: a tad over 8 Stone size: Length: 1" Width: .5" Weight: 10.61 g "Sleeping Beauty turquoise is significant to the Navajo and other Indigenous peoples for its vibrant sky-blue color and use in spiritual practices, jewelry, and trade, symbolizing protection, prosperity, and connection to nature. Its pure, matrix-free hue has become a staple in Native American jewelry. Reasons for rarity Mine closure:  The Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, the sole source of this type of turquoise, closed in 2012 due to mining regulations and costs.  Finite supply:  Only previously mined stones are now available, making them a limited and sought-after commodity.  Demand:  The consistent, uniform "robin's egg" blue color has always been in high demand, and this demand has not diminished since the mine closed. What to know about the stone Color and quality:  The most prized material is a consistent, medium-toned sky blue with minimal to no matrix, though some occasional small flecks may appear. Price:  Genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise, especially natural, non-stabilized gem-grade material, commands premium prices."  From a 🚭 pet friendly home 🐕 Thanks for looking!🛍🌈😘 REASONABLE offers are always welcome!
