turquoise
Two Skies has Turquoise from several different parts of the world, but the name for these beautiful blue stones was actually originally coined from Turkey, where the first "Persian Stones" were mined. Now sourced from Asia, Mexico and the United States, the most prized colours are the "dark greens" of Tibetan/Asian stones and the "sky blues" such as those sourced from Campitos, Mexico and the now closed Sleeping Beauty Mine, in Arizona. Used by the Native American Navajo during vision quests, it is a stone of guidance and protection.
