Shy individuals feel more comfortable within themselves and around strangers when they are wearing Lapis Lazuli jewelry.  Lapis Lazuli aligns one with his/her/their Higher Self.  Placing Lapis Lazuli under a pyramid-shape keeps it energized.  

What is Sleeping Beauty Turquoise?

Even though it is called Sleeping Beauty, the color of the turquoise stone from the Sleeping Beauty mines is compared to the blue color of a robin's egg.  

It was first discovered by Native Americans during the Anasasi period and mostly prized for use as beads. 

Since the Sleeping Beauty turquoise crystalizes alongside copper, it became excavated along with the much sought after gold and copper by miners who were originally searching for gold.  A miner named Monty Nichols went to great lengths to uncover more and more veins of turquoise.  He called the turquoise by the name of the mountain that he was mining.  The mountain was named Sleeping Beauty because it looked like a woman sleeping with her arms crossed.  

Turquoise forms in big chunks, nuggets and in flat sheets.  As done today, turquoise is mined by hand digging a layer of dirt first and they using power tools, such as a jackhammer, to remove the rock bed.  Then laborers called "pickers" pick through the rock to separate out the rocks that actually have turquoise.  Next, laborers called "chippers" chips away the matrix rock from the turquoise.  Once cleaned, "sorters" sort out the pieces by size, quality and color.  

Nichols promoted the turquoise as an affordable gemstone.  He tumbled the turquoise nuggets and then cut them in half and brought them to market as "nugget cut" cabochons for jewelry making.  Nichols dug out tons of turquoise from his mountain and so was able to sell it at affordable prices.  Jewelers who didn't care for the veining and webbing in the turquoise from other mines flocked to buy the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise for its pure color.  It is also more stable than other turquoises and often does not require resin stabilization or treatments such as dye.  The Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona closed at the end of 2012.  Even though China mines and produces a lot of turquoise, Monty Nichols was the biggest producer of quality turquoise in the world.
