Turquoise to our Diné is important.

Representing the "Blue World", it tells the Holy People... "We know where we come from".

Turquoise is a semi-precious stone.

These small turquoise nuggets are stabilized to make them last the test of time.

Turquoise is also worn for protection when roaming outside of the sacred mountains.
