Beyond turquoise and coral, Native American jewelers draw upon a remarkable palette of secondary stones — Afghan lapis lazuli traded across 6,000 years of human commerce, spiny oyster shell graded from fiery orange to royal purple, gaspeite, sugilite, charoite, and other rare materials that expand the chromatic possibilities of indigenous jewelry to extraordinary effect.
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.

Discover this exceptional Native American Bracelet, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Lapis Lazuli, beautifully complemented by Turquoise and Gaspeite. The Lapis Lazuli featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — Mined primarily in the mountains of Afghanistan for over 6,000 years, this deep blue stone flecked with golden pyrite has been prized by cultures worldwide. Its celestial appearance represents wisdom and truth. Complementing the design, the Turquoise adds its own story — The iconic stone of the American Southwest, turquoise has been mined and treasured by Native peoples for over 2,000 years. Its blue-green color symbolizes sky, water, and protection. Rounding out this composition, the Gaspeite brings additional character — Originally discovered in the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, Canada, this apple-green stone is now primarily mined in Western Australia. Its bright, fresh color has made it popular in contemporary Native American jewelry. Available in size Link. This piece bears the signature of artist O.P, a mark of authenticity and personal craftsmanship. Every piece at Humiovi is one-of-a-kind — once sold, it can never be replicated.

Characteristics
Lapis lazuli's deep celestial blue, flecked with golden pyrite, brings rich color and an ancient pedigree to Native American inlay and silver jewelry.
Cared for thoughtfully, a handcrafted piece is meant to last generations. A few essentials for this one:
Lapis lazuli
Porous and moderately soft — wipe with a damp cloth, dry at once, and keep it from prolonged water contact.
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.
