My family is from Arizona. The desert is my birth place and I have always been drawn to Turquoise Jewelry. I have been intrigued by the role gems, gemstones, minerals, crystals, precious metals and semi precious stones have played a role in the development of cultures. "The Anasazi had opened their Turquoise mines by 1000 AD and had established extensive trading practices with the peoples of what is now Mexico. The mining locations included locations in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. In cities such as Chaco Canyon, the Anasazi traded their Turquoise for the feathers of tropical birds. As demand for the Anasazi Turquoise grew in the south, the society at Chaco Canyon grew wealthy. The ancient Turquoise jewelry of the Zuni tribes was characterized by prominent inserts of the stone. Navajo Turquoise jewelry features die-stamped designs. In the 16th century, the cultures of the American Southwest used Turquoise as currency. It was also often found on the facades of Indian homes" My mother has a stunning Turquoise & Silver Squash Blossom Necklace that was given to her as a child that one day she will pass on to me! http://www.brandhabit.com/member/tori I am thrilled to find out that your boutique carries Burning Torch!
