What is it about the sky blue beauty of gem quality turquoise? The stone reminds of the warm temperatures, desert vistas, and connection to our inner bohemian. These stones are from the Sleeping Beauty mine, now closed. And although they are scarce we managed to snag a few strands in Tucson last season. They can be worn day or night and will always be noticed for being the real deal. Measuring 3.25 inches long. Sterling silver lever back ear wires.
