Round White Buffalo Stone Large Studs

Native-made from white buffalo and sterling silver, these are two perfectly circular, coin-shaped studs to complement most any outfit. The simple stud style will sit flat against the earlobe with a low-profile bezel setting.

Measure 5/8" in diameter.

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.
