Mexican Turquoise
 Mexican Turquoise — These turquoise beads have good color (various shades of blue and green) and a light matrix. Our Mexican turquoise comes from the Pino Chueco ("Crooked Pine") mine in Sonora, Mexico. The mine has produced this turquoise, with color similar to the famed Sleeping Beauty turquoise, since the mid-1980s. These stones are very unique in that they are found as free-form nuggets in clay material, rather than in rock veins. They have been stabilized. These beads are not always available.
