Sterling and Manassa Turquoise Silver Dollar Squash Blossom Necklace
About the Item
Navajo squash blossom with beautiful Manassa Mine turquoise on Navajo pearl chain. Marked sterling with silver dollar on the naja. Beads are made from liberty head dimes. Absolutely beautiful and unique sky blue stones. Old Pawn. Acquired from a Navajo trader.
The Manassa Turquoise mine was originally called the Lickskillet Mine. It was one of the first Turquoise deposits found in Colorado and the Southwest as well. The Manassa mine is believed to first have been mine by the Anasazi Indians.
The Navajo word for the squash blossom bead literally means “bead that spreads out”. This tri-petal form first appeared about 1880. Scholars believe that this flower motif was introduced by the Spanish as a variation of the pomegranate flower blossom, and the Navajo adapted it as a symbol of their revered squash. Initially the necklaces were rather simple with the tri-petal silver beads interspersed with rather plain beads. In time, stones were added to the blossom beads as demonstrated in our collection. According to the Navajo, the Naja is strictly decorative; however, it has always been held in high regard by the Navajo and other peoples.
