“Mojave” turquoise takes its name from the vast deserts of the southwestern United States, where it is discovered and mined. These exceptional turquoises are the result of a unique stabilization process that sets them apart from other turquoises. Stabilization of “Mojave” turquoise involves the introduction of metallic dyes into the raw stone, which creates distinctive patterns and veins of different colors. These metallic pigments react with the natural minerals in turquoise, producing a range of hues from green to blue and brown, sometimes even with undertones of purple and red. Beyond their remarkable visual beauty, “Mojave” turquoise carries deep symbolic meanings. Traditionally, turquoise is associated with healing, protection and communication. In Native American culture, it is considered a sacred stone that brings strength, courage and wisdom to the wearer. “Mojave” turquoise, with its fusion of vibrant colors and unique patterns, adds an extra dimension to these traditional meanings. They symbolize unity in diversity, recalling the beauty and richness that can emerge when different influences combine harmoniously. As gems, "Mojave" turquoises are valued for their rarity, beauty and symbolic meaning. Whether as jewelry adorning the body or as collectibles, they continue to captivate and inspire those who are privileged to own them.
