Lapis Lazuli - Material Info

Lapis Lazuli, a stunning deep blue stone with golden flecks of pyrite, is known for its striking appearance and historical significance. It has been prized since antiquity for its vivid color, which comes from its natural composition of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. Lapis Lazuli's rich, bold hue complements a wide range of wardrobes and styles, making it a versatile and fashionable choice for any jewelry collection.

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise - Material Info

The Sleeping Beauty mine, located seven miles from Globe, Arizona, is renowned for its solid, sky-blue turquoise with no matrix. Since the mine's closure in 2012, this pure and naturally strong turquoise has become highly valued, comparable to top-grade Nevada turquoise. Prized by jewelers and artists worldwide, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise often requires no treatment and is named for the mountain’s resemblance to a sleeping woman with her arms crossed.
