From its discovery in the copper-rich hills near Globe, Arizona in the 1920s to the mine's permanent closure in 2012, Sleeping Beauty turquoise has undergone a transformation from abundant commercial stone to one of the most coveted minerals in the gemological world, with prices increasing 300-400% since the final extraction.
The Kingman mine in Mohave County, Arizona has operated continuously since the late nineteenth century, producing turquoise in a remarkable color range from sky blue to deep blue-green, with its spider-web matrix specimens ranking among the most valued turquoise in the world.

Discover this exceptional Native American Bracelet, handcrafted by Navajo (Diné) artisans, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Golden Hills Turquoise and Coral. The Golden Hills Turquoise featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — From the mountains of Kazakhstan near the Chinese border, this distinctive turquoise features lavender to blue hues with golden matrix. It has become treasured by Southwestern artists for its unique coloring. Complementing the design, the Coral adds its own story — Harvested from the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea and Pacific Ocean, red coral has been treasured for centuries. Native American artists have incorporated coral into jewelry since ancient trade routes brought it to the Southwest. Available in size 7. The Navajo Nation spans 27,000 square miles across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, making it the largest Native American reservation. Navajo silversmiths learned their craft in the 1860s and developed iconic styles including squash blossom necklaces and concho belts. This piece bears the signature of artist A. Jake, a mark of authenticity and personal craftsmanship. Every piece at Humiovi is one-of-a-kind — once sold, it can never be replicated. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.
