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 shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
