Pilot Mountain Mine, Nevada

Turquoise is a well loved stone amongst many, for its striking color. It's primarily found in the southwest areas of the U.S., including Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Native Americans of this region hold turquoise near and dear to their hearts since the tribes of the southwest were the first to discover & use it in jewelry.

The Natives believed this stone to hold the spirit of the sky and seas, but turquoise is also now believed to be a stone of protection, success, and calm, clear communication.
