Interesting! A Navajo would wear it believing it held all the power of the grandmother, but an Apache would never wear it because the spirit of the grandmother could return to reclaim it . . .I never thought of a gemstone as the "something blue" ...well done, Jan!

Ahh so delicately written. A blue stone used to be the most popular engagement ring.
