Turquoise

Native American artists have used turquoise for centuries, valuing it as a symbol of protection, healing, and connection to the spirit world. Especially among Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi tribes, turquoise appears in jewelry, amulets, and ceremonial pieces. The stone’s vibrant blue-green hues reflect the sky and water, vital elements in Native life. Today, turquoise remains central in Native American art, blending ancient tradition with contemporary designs, preserving cultural identity.
