The turquoise stones in this necklace come from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe Arizona. The turquoise from this mine is a beautiful, bright color and has no matrix. I purchased these stones at TheTucson Gem and Mineral and Gem show a few years ago.
There are gems,minerals and beads from around the world. The show is in many locations around the city of Tucson, Arizona. Tables are piled high with gemstones, pearls, semi precious stones and everything you can imagine. The last time I was there I purchased wedgewood blue calcedony , rainbow moonstones, turquoise, green opals, sterling silver, coral, Ethiopian brass beads and the turquoise you see in the necklace above. Mindboggleing is the word to describe it!
I am going to the show this year in early February. If you want to find more about it , the website is www.tucson-gem-show.org
