Mined from a single claim in Lander County, Nevada, Number 8 turquoise is distinguished by its striking golden-brown spider-web matrix against sky-blue to blue-green body color. With the mine closed since 1976, Number 8 commands premium collector prices and remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after American turquoise varieties in the market today.
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 Opal and Turquoise. The Opal featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — 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. 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. 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.
