This turquoise comes from our large Southwestern turquoise collection and is probably from the Battle Mountain Mine in Nevada. We have had this Turquoise collection for upwards of thirty years and sometimes it's difficult if not impossible to remember where exactly every stone came from. We have a pretty good idea on most of it. But, there's no perfect, absolute, one hundred percent guarantee on us knowing exactly where any one Turquoise stone originated. However, we are doing our best to tell you what we know. Each stone of Turquoise is a true one of a kind with natural colors and markings provided by the earth making each one unique. The choice of stone in a piece of Turquoise jewelry makes a statement about the unique personality of both the artist who makes the piece and the person who wears it.
There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and that it helped overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.
We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And, we recognize it's important to know that the artist is truly a member of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal, a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
