CASTLE DOME turquoise comes from a mine in the Sleeping Beauty mountains approximately 30 miles from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona. Castle Dome turquoise is one of the most prominent types of turquoise found in Southwestern jewelry as well as Native American Zuni Jewelry.

TURQUOISE got its name from early trade routes - Europeans ended up getting the stone from the Turkish bazaars. Turquoise has been a prominent stone throughout most cultures for thousands of years. It is seen as a symbol of wisdom and nobility.   This turquoise in particular has been stabilized to maintain its shape without crumbling.
