Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Necklace with Pearls and Coral

The Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine was named after the mountain range where it is located, which from a distance is said to resemble a sleeping woman with her arms crossed. Increased government regulations and mining costs led to the mine’s closure in 2012.  The mine also mined copper and is located near Globe, Arizona.  This mine produced both turquoise and copper so when it was sold to a new owner, they chose to focus on copper mining instead, thus the prices have drastically increased since 2012.

As a color, blue calms the soul and reminds you of peaceful flowing water. So sleeping beauty turquoise promotes inner peace, brings emotional calm, deters mood swings, encourages creative problem solving, and improves communication.  Physically, it boosts the immune system, helps with inflammation, and detoxifies the body.  Spiritually, it protects you from evil and aligns the physical body with the spiritual one and it will bring energy back into your life.
