Turquoise is known as the Sky Stone by Native American Indian People of the Southwest. The Navajo believe that turquoise was a piece of sky that has fallen to earth. The Apache believe that turquoise helps the warriors and hunters to aim more accurately. The Zuni thought it protected them from demons and the Aztecs reserved it for their gods, forbidding mere mortals to wear it.

Turquoise is mined around the world, the most famous turquoise jewelry comes from the southwestern United States. The Navajo and Zuni silversmiths from the Four Corners area of New Mexico and Arizona produce the finest pieces.
