Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Faceted Heart Briolette Beads Approx 11mm

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is an all-time favourite and these AAA quality heart briolette beads (also called teardrop briolettes) are a wonderful shade of turquoise blue. Sleeping Beauty turquoise gets its name from the mountain in Arizona from where it is mined, which resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with her arms crossed. These are natural turquoise briolette beads and it is unusual to see faceted turquoise so they will make a really special piece of jewellery.
