Identifying a chunk of turquoise

_DSC02918 DSC02917 DSC02916 DSC02915 DSC02914 _Good Morning Jason,

I have a 197 gram piece of raw turquoise. I was told it was sleeping beauty, but I would like your expert opinion. The person I got it from started to polish one side (as shown) but did not finish.
You can still see the vibrant Robin’s Egg blue with no matrix in other photos I will be uploading.
Before I decide if I want to sell this specimen, I need to know some info before doing this.
I was told it came from Arizona is all the information I have.
Thank You,
Deborah.

It could be anything. I have included a link to Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and rough turquoise. It looks like it is stabilized. Pretty color.
