-American Turquoise-
Turquoise was discovered in North America around 200 B.C. by the Native American Indians located in the American Southwest region. Ancient Indians worshiped Turquoise, believing it had great powers and was sent to earth by the fathers of creation. Turquoise was used in most ceremonies and prayer, Medicine Men throughout Meso America relied heavily on Turquoise, native peoples believed Turquoise was a sacred stone. Most ancient tombs of tribal leaders and medicine men in the ancient times had amulets of American Turquoise, they believed in the afterlife they could take Turquoise with them. There is no question, Turquoise was used for its Spiritual and Metaphysical powers by the natives throughout America's. Because Turquoise is porous in its natural state, most stones are stabilized. This hardens it & makes the natural color permanent...it's a good thing!
