Rectangular dangle earrings with White Buffalo

NAVJAO HANDCRAFTED DANGLE EARRINGS WHITE BUFFALO

Navajo handcrafted dangle earrings. Set in solid sterling silver with genuine White Buffalo stones. These light weight earrings dangle on a silver wire but can be converted to a dangle post if needed. The measure 1"1/4 in length when worn and are approximately 1/2" in width. Great black and white coloring of the stone. 

The White Buffalo stone originates from the Tonopah Nevada area found in the same general veins as Dry Creek turquoise but has no copper content. Considering this fact, it should therefore NOT be called "white, turquoise" as it does not have the same chemical composition as turquoise, which is a copper phosphate. There is no copper to cause blue color or iron to cause green color. It is a mostly clean white calcite/quartz mix with black chert inclusions (matrix) that are more sharply defined as opposed to being smutty. The better stones have clear delineations of black and white.
