Mined from a single claim in Lander County, Nevada, Number 8 turquoise is distinguished by its striking golden-brown spider-web matrix against sky-blue to blue-green body color. With the mine closed since 1976, Number 8 commands premium collector prices and remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after American turquoise varieties in the market today.
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.
