The piece measures 3.5 × 2.5 inches with a 0.75‑inch bale, giving it a strong, grounded presence. White Water Turquoise comes from the White Water Mine in Sonora, Mexico, a small‑yield deposit known for its vivid sky‑blue stones and soft white matrix. The Naja itself is one of the most recognizable symbols in Navajo jewelry — a crescent form traditionally worn for protection, beauty, and the ability to ward off negativity, with roots reaching back through Moorish, Spanish, and early Southwestern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smiling sprites sometimes found on Native American Naja pendants are small protective spirit faces, carved or stamped to bring lightness, humor, and good energy to the wearer. They echo older motifs used across different Native traditions, where friendly or laughing faces served as guardians that softened the intensity of ceremonial shapes. On a Naja — a symbol already tied to protection, blessing, and the warding off of negativity — these little faces add a playful, benevolent presence. They make the pendant feel alive, approachable, and full of personality, turning a powerful symbol into something that also carries joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChimney Butte is a respected Navajo silversmith known for his bold, substantial sterling work and the way he blends traditional Navajo forms with a clean, contemporary edge. His pieces are hand‑fabricated from heavy gauge silver, often featuring deep stamp work, strong symmetry, and a sense of grounded presence that collectors instantly recognize. He’s especially loved for the warmth he brings into his designs — jewelry that feels powerful but still approachable, rooted in Navajo tradition while carrying his unmistakable signature style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Water Turquoise carries that clean, open‑sky clarity — the kind that steadies your breath and keeps your spirit bright, just like the joyful faces carved into this piece. The Naja adds its own medicine: a protective crescent that clears the path ahead and softens whatever tries to weigh you down. Correspondence: turquoise aligns with truth‑speaking, protection, and walking your path with clarity and an open heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lifted Realm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48605490512087,"sku":null,"price":660.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/6296\/4183\/files\/IMG_4966_10caf2df-a432-4291-9711-111aa83f63eb.jpg?v=1778609406"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/6296\/4183\/collections\/Image_53.jpg?v=1789408900","url":"https:\/\/liftedrealm.com\/collections\/chimney-butte-navajo-jewelry.oembed","provider":"The Lifted Realm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
