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 Ring, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Lapis Lazuli, beautifully complemented by Turquoise and Opal. 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 Opal brings additional character — While Australian opals are world-renowned, Native American artists often use opals from Nevada and Mexico. The stone's play of color, caused by light diffracting through silica spheres, creates mesmerizing rainbow effects. 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. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.
