Mini Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Turtle Pendant - Zuni - Native American

This precious Zuni pendant features a tiny turtle with an inlay shell made of sleeping beauty turquoise.  Measurements:  Pendant Size: 5/8" long, 1/4" wide Metal: Sterling Silver Item#: PD150B Stone: Sleeping Beauty Turquoise  Sleeping Beauty Turquoise: This stone is truly one of our (and our artists) favorites. It was found in Globe, Arizona, specifically at the Sleeping Beauty Mine, and is revered for sometimes lacking something that makes most other types stand out: it’s webbing or veining. The highest-quality pieces are as pure as a cloudless New Mexico Sky, and at its finest, Sleeping Beauty will make you forget how turquoise got its reputation as sort of a patchwork stone of different colors. The mine is no longer in operation and Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is more in demand than ever due to its scarcity and beautiful color.
