Genuine Turquoise Jewelry

• Blue Turquoise: It was first found in Persia, and has since been found in pockets, or veins, around the world, including some American mines. Blue turquoise forms when its host rock contains a high level of copper. For this reason, the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, which is surrounded by copper mines, is best known for its clear blue turquoise


• Sleeping Beauty Turquoise:The sky-blue Sleeping Beauty stones display a vibrant hue that has been coveted as the epitome of turquoise since the stone's discovery. Legend has it that when the wind whistles through the canyon it is searching for this sky stone. The now-closed Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Mine, in Arizona, was long heralded for its Robin's egg blue stones that contain so few matrices that it is virtually flawless in appearance.

• Green Turquoise: It is found in parts of the American Southwest, as well as in parts of Asia and the Middle East. Green turquoise is created when there is a higher level of aluminum than copper, or when zinc or iron replaces the aluminum entirely. In recent years green turquoise has become highly sought after for its rare color and matrix formations.


• Kingman Turquoise: The Kingman Turquoise Mine, in Arizona, is one of the oldest turquoise mines in America. It was discovered more than 1000 years ago by the Indigenous peoples of the area. The mine is known for producing many variations of stones, from sky blue to green, and containing striking matrices that make each stone rich in character and uniqueness. This mine has been the biggest supplier of turquoise to Southwestern jewelry in history.
