The Peralta Stones are a set of engraved stones rumored to indicate the location of the famed Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, supposedly discovered by German immigrant Jacob Waltz in Arizona, United States. The stones are named for the Peralta family, said to be an old and powerful Mexican family, one of whose ancestors, Pedro de Peralta, was the first governor of the Spanish territory in New Mexico.

Famous quotes containing the word stones:
“The real pleasure of being Mick Jagger was in having everything but being tempted by nothing ... a smouldering ill will which silk clothes, fine food, wine, women, and every conceivable physical pampering somehow aggravated ... a drained and languorous, exquisitely photogenic ennui.”
—Anonymous “Chronicler.” Quoted in Philip Norman, The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones (1989)
