Some turquoise beads stand out for their color, and that’s why the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona became so famous. The sky blues are bright and clean, while other strands here lean into soft greens with copper running through. You’ll spot polished ovals, flat rounds, and natural turquoise cabochons, each bead with its own character. Because turquoise can be hard to find, we offer both natural and stabilized options that are easy to work with. Pair turquoise with other gemstone beads for sale, such as our amethyst beads for sale, aquamarine gemstone beads, agate beads for sale, amber beads for sale, or even crystal quartz beads for a fresh mix. If collecting unusual strands is more your style, take a look at our trade beads for sale, too.
