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.

Turquoise
A soft, porous stone — keep it dry and away from perfume, lotion, and household chemicals so its color stays true.
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.
