Turquoise is found in or near copper deposits and it depends on the presence of copper ions for its formation. The blue color is enhanced when lots of copper is present. The green color of some turquoise is caused by iron, aluminum and chromium. When zinc is present the deposits are yellowish or yellow-green in color, a rare combination that so far has been found in only a few areas.
Most of the turquoise in this site comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine, located near Globe, Arizona. This mine produces a solid, light blue color stone with no matrix. This mine is one of the larges in North America and its turquoise is one of the most favorite among collectors.
