Turquoise: Probably no other stone or color symbolizes the
southwestern mystique better than Turquoise. This stone has been used by Native
Americans in the southwest since around 200BC. Some of the first items fashioned
out of turquoise were beads and figurines with the incorporation of silver
coming in the late 1800's. Turquoise is found in semi arid copper deposits and
is formed when groundwater percolates through aluminous rock in the presence of
copper. It is the copper that lends turquoise its greenish-blue hues. Turquoise
symbolizes good fortune or luck to the Southwestern Native Americans.
