White Buffalo Ring Sz. 12

White Buffalo is formed from the minerals Calcite
and Iron. White Buffalo is only found in one mine
is near Tonopah Nevada.
It is mined by Dannv and Dean Otteson, which
classified White Buffalo as a turquoise, as it is a
similar hard stone as turquoise the only difference is
it is lacking copper. It is questioned at times by
definition, because turquoise
contains copper aluminum phosphate,
which is what gives it the blue color.
White Buffalo has no copper and no blue color.
Otteson notes that, like turquoise,
it lies in veins surrounded by black chert
“Until someone can prove differently, we’re going
to call it white turquoise from the
White Buffalo mine,” Otteson says
With the ages this will be debated but in the end it is
a beautifully bold stone that makes a statement in its
black and white colors and so rare to be only found
in one area in the world.
