This beautiful blue stone which has been known to represent power, status, and luxury, is very important to the Navajo people. Because of its reputation as a stone that brings good fortune, they store turquoise in baskets or hang it from the ceiling in order to protect the family from evil. The stone was also brought into battles to protect the warriors from harm, and it is frequently given as a gift.
Turquoise is in the myths told by the Navajo people as well as other tribes. One legend said that when it rains after a long period of drought, human tears seep into the earth and form turquoise. The stone is incorporated into many spiritual practices, one of which involves throwing the stone into a river and saying a prayer to the god of rain, Neinilii.
