Turquoise gems are the most popular components in Native American jewelry. They believed the gem was a stone from the sky and used it for protection, blessing, healing, and prosperity. Native Americans also used the stone as a status symbol to show wealth and riches. One who wore a beautiful turquoise is one to be respected.

Turquoise is a very soft and brittle stone. Coming out of the mines, most are too fragile to be used in gemstome jewelry and requires special treatement in a hardening process. Though they are now widely available, people still prefer untreated ones, also known as virgin turquoise, which are deemed much more valuable.
