The historic Nishapur turquoise has been mined from the Rivand mountain near this village. An ancient city called Rivand of Nishapur has also been probably situated around the region of this village. Some Iranologists, believe that Rivand Mountain has been home to Adur Burzen-Mihr (a holy Zoroastrian fire temple).[8]
