Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral and gemstone. It gets its unique color from copper and iron impurities. For centuries, this semi-precious stone has been prized globally for jewelry, and it holds deep cultural and spiritual significance in Southwestern Indigenous traditions. Turquoise is profoundly tied to Native American, Persian, and Tibetan cultures. In the southwestern United States, the stone has been used ceremonially and decoratively for millennia.
