I am continually amazed on the parallels and direct links that exist culturally between the Dine' Naiton of the American southwest and the Tibetan people of Asia!
Astounding!
Lately I have been researching this topic and have found great things!
The most exciting knowledge gained is that the Tibetan use/used TURQUOISE as a weapon.
So ADORNMENT was like putting on armor....what a thought to ponder. The faith of the people of Tibet
is much like the faith of the Dine'.
This quote took and held my attention:
"The tenacity of the gem was utilised most effectively b the Tibetan hero Gesar who fashioned his arrowheads from the finest turquoise."
Thankful.
