Commercial Grade Cabochons
Stabilized Sleeping Beauty is natural turquoise that has been treated with injection of clear resin. As a result of this process, its color deepens and becomes stabilized for life (as oppose to natural Turquoise, which changes color over time). The median stablized turquoise color is generally darker than it's natural counterpart.
Pros: Color is stable and will not change with wear
Cons: Doesn't test natural in a laboratory. Limited supply. Color is less ideal compared to natural. Color and quality inconsistent. Size limitation
