Sacred White Buffalo Turquoise Mine
Sacred White Buffalo is often referred to as White Buffalo with its very distinctive white background with black matrix.  Sacred White Buffalo Turquoise was discovered in the Dry Creek Mine on the Shoshone Indian Reservation near Battle Mountain. Nevada in 1993, and started to appear in Jewelry by 1996.
Turquoise gets its color from the heavy metals in the ground where it forms.  Blue Turquoise forms where there is copper present, which is the case with most Arizona Turquoise.  Green Turquoise forms where iron is present, the cas with most Nevada Turquoise.
Sacred Buffalo Turquoise forms where there are no heavy metals present.  The lack of any specific color consistency makes this stone distinctive and unique from other turquoises.
Sacred Buffalo Turquoise is an unique Turquoise from the Dry Creek Mine and therefore is rare.  The Shoshone Indians sell or trade the Sacred Buffalo Turquoise to the Navajos in Arizona and New Mexico who then work it into jewelry.

Genuine WHITE BUFFALO Turquoise Nuggets, Nickel- & Genuine COIN (.900) Silver
Sterling Silver:
.925 silver
Nickel Silver:
This used to be named German silver, and silversmiths have used it for the last century for making jewelry. It contains no actual silver and many buyers prefer it over sterling because it does not tarnish and has a shinier look.
Genuine Turquoise:
Real turquoise stone, although it may be stabilized to protect it.
Block Turquoise:
Again, this has been used by artisans for decades. It is created in a laboratory and sold to silversmiths by jewelry supply stores in large blocks, hence, the name, block turquoise. Other stones that are made in blocks will described as such.
Pawn Jewelry:
Jewelry that has been pawned by the owner to a pawn shop, usually in New Mexico. OLD Pawn is jewelry that is vintage or older and was pawned, then acquired by someone else from the pawn
COIN (.900) Silver:
.900 Silver is the same quality used in production of  vintage/old coins (but not old as in age).  This silver consists of 90% pure silver.
