Sleeping Beauty Turquoise

 Nestled within the hills of Globe, Arizona, lies the renowned Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Mine, owned by the Mansfield family for generations. This historic mine holds a special place in the hearts of those who have worked its depths, echoing stories of its vibrant hues and pure clarity. "Sleeping Beauty turquoise is like no other. Its vibrant hues and pure clarity are unmatched," remarks one of the Mansfield family members, echoing the sentiment shared by many who have explored its rich veins.
