SLEEPING BEAUTY turquoise is known for its sky blue coloring with only moderate black veining up to no veining at all in finer specimens.  It used to be found in a mine in Arizona that was called “sleeping beauty”, because the mine’s formation looked like a woman lying on her back with her arms crossed.  It is the only mine that produces Sleeping Beauty turquoise, so natural turquoise of this form is very limited.
