White Buffalo Turquoise
Background
White Buffalo Turquoise is retained as a searchable trade name for the white-and-black pendant collection formerly placed under Wild Horse Jasper. The corrected placement keeps the two collection identities separate.
Science / Origin / Testing
White Buffalo is a trade material name and should not be read as proof of the mineral turquoise. Published discussions describe white materials sold under turquoise-related labels as mixtures that may include quartz, calcite and other phases; names and appearances do not establish the composition of these particular pendants. No specimen-specific identification is attached here. The geology and mineral content of a trade material must be evaluated through documentation and testing.
Metaphysical Meaning
Its metaphysical meaning may be explored through contrast, balance and a sense of renewal. The white-and-black pattern can be a reminder to make space for rest and direct one’s energy deliberately. Such symbolism is distinct from mineral identification.
