About the stone: 

Kingman turquoise is a staple of Native American/Western/Southwestern jewelry. Known for its striking range of color, from pale green to deep blue, Kingman turquoise is one of the most recognizable and sought-after American turquoises in the world. Its unique matrix patterns can be white, brown, black, or even dyed for contrast. While most natural Kingman turquoise is a rich medium blue, its variety and quality make it a standout among collectors. Turquoise is a sacred and highly valued stone in Native American cultures, symbolizing healing, protection, and a deep connection to nature, particularly the sky and water. It represents good fortune, strength, and spiritual communication. This stone is integral to ceremonies, rituals, and everyday life, where Native American tribes use it for healing, safeguarding, and even rituals intended to bring about rain.
