The Turquoise

Since 1971, we bring you the most beautiful turquoise stones, from the pale blue Dry Creek turquoise (Nevada) to the emerald green Broken Arrow turquoise (Nevada) and the most known of them all, the "Sleeping Beauty" (Arizona). Coming exclusively from the USA, mainly from Nevada or Arizona, our turquoise stones differ depending from their deposit as much by their color and density. The turquoise being a fossilized phosphate, it feeds from oxidation of its various surrounding minerals, mainly iron and copper, which will give it its final tint.

Vast amounts of turquoise-made objects have been found on various sites of the American West, confirming the important spiritual symbolism for the ancestral Pueblo people, as well as their Zuni descendants and other Rio Grande tribes which associate the blue turquoise stone to “father Sky" and the green turquoise to “mother Earth".

Early on, Zuni fetishes were sculpted in turquoise to elevate and bring out their strength and power. The Kachina dancers from the Hopi and Zuni tribes wear turquoise necklaces and offer turquoise powder to the gods to accompany their prayers. Other South-West peoples such as the Navajo believe turquoise carries special powers, and that turquoise jewelry brings good fortune to their wearers.
