Turquoise is one of the most valuable, non-transparent minerals in the jewelry trade. It has been mined for eons since at least 6000 BC by early Egyptians. Today, it is more popular than ever and its use around the world is prolific. The most valuable Turquoise has special characteristics; it is naturally hard the way it was found and is a bright sky blue. Certain Native Americans called turquoise "Chal-cui-hui-tal", meaning "the highest and most valued thing in the world". To actually see a bright blue nugget of Turquoise on the otherwise gray and dusty desert floor would inspire anyone to realize the incredible nature of the stone. This is what the American Indians have known to be true for millennia - Turquoise is special, sacred, and has power.
