In Indian folklore it is said that there was once a chief with turquoise-colored skin. One day he was running from his enemies in the hot desert and whenever he stopped to rest, his perspiration ran onto the ground and collected in rocks to form turquoise.

There are many legends about turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and that it helped overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend, the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache thought that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.
