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 Sonora Gold Turquoise, beautifully complemented by Conch Shell and Morenci Turquoise. The Sonora Gold Turquoise featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — Mined in Sonora, Mexico, this distinctive turquoise features golden-green hues created by zinc and iron in the deposit. Its warm coloring sets it apart from traditional blue turquoise. Complementing the design, the Conch Shell adds its own story — Harvested from the warm tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, conch shell has been a treasured trade material in the American Southwest for thousands of years. Its natural pink to deep rose coloring and luminous inner surface make it a prized material in Native American jewelry, symbolizing the ancient connection between desert peoples and the distant ocean. Rounding out this composition, the Morenci Turquoise brings additional character — From the Morenci copper mine in southeastern Arizona, this turquoise features deep blue coloring with distinctive pyrite inclusions that create a unique sparkle. The mine is now primarily a copper operation. 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 E. Garfield, 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.
SKU: 380110D
Cared for thoughtfully, a handcrafted piece is meant to last generations. A few essentials for this one:
Turquoise
A soft, porous stone — keep it dry and away from perfume, lotion, and household chemicals so its color stays true.
Sterling silver
Buff with a soft polishing cloth — leaving intentional oxidation intact — and store airtight to slow tarnish.
Last on, first off
Put your piece on after fragrance, lotion, and hairspray — and take it off before water, sleep, and sport.
Store with care
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch, away from direct sun and damp, so softer stones never meet harder ones.
