Why Hummingbird Stones?
The origins of our name...
The ancient Aztec name for the opal they found and admired for it's similarity to the "brilliant iridescence of the hummingbird's plumage" (The World Of Opals, Eckert, 1997) was vitzitziltecpatl, which translates to "hummingbird stone" - thus the somewhat oblique reference to what is our favorite stone in our name. We sincerely hope you'll visit our site again and often as we add more "hummingbird stones" for you to choose from.
