Connections of Cultural People. Turquoise.

When I think of turquoise my mind smiles.

Turquoise in the diverse culture of the Dine' people is about happiness.
In most cases turquoise ADORNMENT gleams ideas and thoughts about beauty for the wearer and too for the people in their daily circles.

I have always believed the Dine' had a cultural connection to the people of Mongolia the regions of Tibet, including the Chuk Chi people. The connection I found is through turquoise ADORNMENT.

For the Dine' turquoise evokes wellness, happiness, health, good thoughts and this is the same for the people of Tibet. For some Tibetans, only unprocessed turquoise is worn, and is worn for ceremonial and celebratory times.

It is truly amazing to me to see this tangible connection between two groups of beautiful people.
