White Buffalo or Sacred Buffalo Turquoise is turquoise that occurs when the mineral isn't near any copper or nickel. Good specimens have a dark to black matrix.  This stone's natural matrix interacts beautifully with the cuts the artist has made on the surround.

Measures 1¾" (4.4 cm) long and 1¼" (3.1 cm) wide
