This jewelry comes from a trading post that was recently forced to close down. Gas and silver prices have been bad for business so they liquidated their inventory to Alltribes. They kept to the highest standards of quality, created unique designs and used quality stones.
Turquoise is one of the most valuable, non-transparent minerals in the jewelry trade. It has been mined for eons since at least 6000 BC by early Egyptians. Today, it is more popular than ever and its use around the world is prolific. The most valuable Turquoise has special characteristics; it is naturally hard the way it was found and is a bright sky blue. Certain Native Americans called turquoise "Chal-cui-hui-tal", meaning "the highest and most valued thing in the world". Many believe the stone can help protect them from demons or help a person feel intuitively the difference between good and evil as well as protect against accidents and various dangers. To actually see a bright blue nugget of Turquoise on the otherwise gray and dusty desert floor is to know the incredible nature of this stone and will lead anyone to realize what the American Indians have known to be true for millennia - that Turquoise is special, sacred, and has power. |
