Turquoise History & Lore



Turquoise has long been a magical stone in the eyes of our Native Americans. It is said that after a long drought when rain finally came it melded with the Indians tears of joy to form the tranquilizing blue stone known as Turquoise, The Fallen Sky Stone.

This stone is found in it's beautiful Turquoise color, but also can be found in greens and light blues. For over 7000 year this intriguing stone has been thought to bring blessings, good fortune, protection and long life.

It's positive healing was so strong that the Native Americans believed that if you were wearing Turquoise and it cracked the stone had taken the blow that was meant for you.

Lapis Lazuli History & Lore


Lapis lazuli has been used in jewelry, carvings and amulets for thousands of years. It is a stone prized for its intense blue color. The name Lapis Lazuli comes from the Arabic word lazward, from which the word azure comes, which means blue. Ancient Romans used to call it "sapphires," which was subsequently applied to the blue variety of corundum we know today as sapphire. Egyptians regarded lapis lazuli as a heavenly stone and often used it on the statues of their gods and in burial masks, as protection for the next life. 



The stone has been used in many famous pieces throughout history, including the mask of Tutankhanem, or King Tut. Egyptians used lapis lazuli for cylindrical seals. Sumerians, the supreme lapis lovers of antiquity, were willing to spend years traveling from one end of Asia to the other, on mining expeditions for the gem. In fact, the stone was mentioned in their 2650 BC epic of Gilgamesh. During the middle ages, ruling class art patrons demanded that painters use blue paint that was made from blue lapis. Men of less means had to tolerate cheaper blue pigments made from indigo or copper.

Ruby ~ History & Lore!


A Stone of Kings

Many cultures have long considered ruby a stone of kings. Not surprisingly, ruby symbolism and lore have many associations with power, wealth, and their protection. Possessing a ruby purportedly benefited and protected the owner’s estates and assisted in the accumulation of wealth. Notably, this gem would help its owner acquire more gems.
When worn as a talisman, ruby’s mystical properties extended to personal protection. People believed wearing the stone on the left, the heart side, would allow the bearers to live peacefully. None could take their land or rank. The blood-colored stone would preserve them from all perils, even their homes from storms.
