Navajo Artist, Ruth Davis, has inlay White Buffalo Turquoise in sterling silver creating an exquisite single wide row of White Buffalo Turquoise in a cuff bracelet. She has stamped RD on the inside of the bracelet along with 'sterling'. This bracelet has an opening of 1-1/4". The inside measures 5-1/4". The bracelet is approximately 3/16" wide. This cuff bracelet is minimally adjustable by gently squeezing the ends of the bands. Ruth has incorporated 2 sterling silver bands leading from the inlay to form a solid end at the very end of the bands.  Very effective!  Clean lines and stunning.  This is an item to treasure!

White Buffalo Turquoise is quite unique and rare. It was discovered in the Dry Creek Mine north of Auston Nevada in 1993. Because of its hardness, it was sent to be assayed and it was in fact White Turquoise. The chemical name for Turquoise is Aluma Phosphate which in its pure chemical state is white. Turquoise takes on color via an intrusion of either copper (blue color) or iron (green color). To date, no other vein of gem quality white turquoise has been discovered anywhere else in the world. Because White Turquoise is as rare as a white buffalo, the Indians call it "White Buffalo" Turquoise. The White Buffalo Turquoise is itself considered sacred and powerful. The jewelry-making is an honoring or tribute to the "White Buffalo" Turquoise.
