Natural turquoise nuggets from the USA, weighing a total of 83 g and ranging from 1.5 to 3 cm, display a rich palette of blue to green shades — each piece a fragment of American mineral history.
These turquoise specimens originate from traditional mining regions in the American Southwest, such as Arizona and Nevada, known for producing the finest and most authentic turquoise used for centuries by Native American tribes.
The turquoise of the Indigenous peoples was more than an ornament — it was regarded as a sacred stone of protection, wisdom, and connection to the sky. Genuine, untreated turquoise of this quality has become increasingly rare today, as most modern material is stabilized or dyed. Natural nuggets with this color intensity and structure are therefore highly prized by both collectors and lapidaries.
As a healing stone, turquoise is said to strengthen the body’s energy flow, support detoxification processes, and promote vitality and self-expression. It is often associated with balancing emotions and enhancing clear communication, making it one of the most revered stones for both physical and spiritual well-being.
