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.
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 Ring, handcrafted by Navajo (Diné) artisans, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Kingman Turquoise, beautifully complemented by Mother of Pearl and Lapis Lazuli. The Kingman Turquoise featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — From the Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona, one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in North America. Operating since the 1880s, it produces classic blue turquoise with distinctive white and black matrix. Complementing the design, the Mother of Pearl adds its own story — The iridescent inner lining of mollusk shells, sourced from oceans worldwide. Native American artists, particularly from Zuni Pueblo, have long incorporated this luminous material into intricate inlay designs. Rounding out this composition, the Lapis Lazuli brings additional character — 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. 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. C, 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.
