Description

The Egyptians were fond of Turquoise, as where the Chinese. In fact Turquoise has been discovered that was carved by Chinese artisans over 3,000 years ago. The Persians (modern day Iran) had the biggest Turquoise market on the planet. 2,000 years ago they were trading in this beautiful gemstone that was pulled from the nearby mountains. The Persians believed that the blue color of Turquoise represented the heavens. You will notice in present day Iran that many of the temples and places of worship will have Turquoise embedded into the entrance. The native American Indians also had an eye for Turquoise. There is evidence that the Navajo Indians had Turquoise mines that are ancient. The Navajo Indians made the Turquoise a central focus of some of their beliefs. One of the beliefs was that Turquoise thrown into a river can cause it to rain.
