The Sleeping Beauty
Mine located in Globe, Arizona here in the U.S. We purchase our Sleeping
Beauty turquoise directly from the mine ourselves and process it (turn
it into the beautiful beads you see on our website) right here in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is one reason we can keep our prices so
low. We have no "middle man". The Sleeping Beauty Mine is the
largest mining operation located in the United States. Because there are
relatively few American turquoise mines still in operation, Sleeping
Beauty and other American and Mexican turquoises are highly collectible
today. Not only does turquoise make your jewelry pieces stand out in
stunning beauty, it is also a valuable investment. In today's economy,
investing in turquoise is becoming more and more desirable. This is a
good time to be in your jewelry-making business.
