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.
