Some information on Turquoise(fromturquoisefacts.com):

To the Pueblos and the Navajos, turquoise is sacred, takes its color from the sky, andsymbolizes the supreme, life-giving and healing power of the Creator. Originally, indigenous peoples of the Southwest carved turquoise into beads or animal fetishes or overlaid it onto wood, bone, or shell using such fixatives as beeswax or piñon pine pitch.
Turquoise, the \"fallen skystone\", \"gem of the centuries\", is indigenous to the Americas,Egypt, ancient Persia (Iran), Tibet and China. Throughout human history, the stone has been revered and admired for its beauty and reputed spiritual life-enhancing qualities. The oldest known piece of jewelry, a turquoise bracelet, was found on the wrist of a 7000 year-old mummified Egyptian queen.

Turquoise has been known by this name since the French purchased the \"turkey stone\"from Turkish traders, never realizing that the turquoise was mined in Persia and later traded tothe Turks.
