The word "turquoise" did not orginate from the United States, it orginated from medieval Europe. It was pronounced as "turceis" by Turkish traders. Later French traders pronounced it "turquois." As trading moved to the United States traders added the letter "e" to the French word turquois. That word is what we know as Turquoise.Today, there are turquoise mines in the southwest United Stares. The majority of the turquoise mines are located in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California.Turquoise has always been a part of the Navajo culture.
