About Turquoise

One of humanity's most coveted gems, turquoise has captivated civilizations for over 3,000 years. Ancient Egyptian rulers and Chinese artisans prized it as a powerful talisman of health, fortune, and protection.

For Native American tribes of the Southwest, turquoise was sacred—the Apaches believed it made hunters' arrows fly true, the Zuni saw the sky reflected in its blue depths, and the Acoma Pueblo revered it as a stone of irresistible charm and beauty.
