💎 KINGMAN TURQUOISE LORE:
Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in human history — the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. Among the Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Chinese, Aztecs, Incas, and Native North Americans, it was revered for its power, beauty, and protective qualities.
Wearing Turquoise is said to bring strength, psychic sensitivity, protection from harm, and good fortune. It symbolizes friendship, aids travelers, and brings peace to the home.
The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and highest-producing turquoise mines in North America. Located in the Acerbate Mountains, just northwest of Kingman, Arizona, it was originally discovered over a thousand years ago and played a key role in a turquoise boom around 1000 AD, when the stone was widely used for ceremonial and personal adornment throughout the Mayan world. Known for its vivid sky blues, rich teals, and classic black webbing, Kingman Turquoise remains one of the most collectible varieties in the world today.
