Natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Nugget Large Specimen 127g
This Natural high grade Sleeping Beauty Turquoise has the most stunning gemmy blue we've seen in a long time! The natural stone is very hard and ready to be cut into large cabochons with spiderwebbing matrix. The sky's the limit with this one! The quartzy host rock floats through the brilliant sky blues like clouds passing by on a day after a good rain. This large hunk of vintage Sleeping Beauty is a rare and exceptional piece and opportunities like this don't come along everyday. This nugget has been hewn and trimmed by the previous owner, probably to remove excess host rock. Photographed dry, this stone may be 100 times more brilliant when polished! This one comes from an estate sale of a lapidarist and collector. This large Natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Nugget is untreated and completely natural as it was found in the Earth. It weighs 127 grams and measures a little over 3-3/4" long x 2" wide and about 1-1/2" thick at its thickest. You will receive the exact specimen featured in the photos.
