A treat for me

When I travel I like to purchase a piece of jewelry unique to the  area.  This trip I purchased a set: necklace,  earrings and ring.
They have a combination of white buffalo turquoise,  black onyx and turquoise in silver settings. White turquoise is normally too low of a grade for polishing.  But in a small vein in a mine found near Tonopah, Nevada the white turquoise has a hardness of 5.5 to 7.5 allowing it to be polished.
