These beads measure approximately 11 to 25m in diameter, and 1.5 to 4mm thick. Total weight of these stones is 234 grams. Cut from stone from the famous Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe Arizona. The mine has now closed and Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is becoming very rare and is increasing in value. As with virtually all high quality turquoise on the market, it has been stabilized for hardness prior to cutting and polishing. Most turquoise just comes out of the ground too soft to work without stabilization. Additionally, stabilization preserves the stone’s natural color. Unstabilized turquoise will change color over time with contact with skin. The color of this turquoise is 100% natural and permanent.
