This is a clear turquoise from Compitas mine in Sonora, Mexico which resembles the deep blues of Sleeping Beauty. It is medium light-blue with no matrix and a little pyrite. The turquoise is very unique in that it is found as free-form nuggets in clay material, rather than in rock veins. The mine as we know it today has been producing since the 1980's.
