White Buffalo is white with black chert running through it, so the whole piece reads as silver, white and black with no colour at all. It is a very different look from turquoise and it suits people who wear a lot of silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow, the crescent is stamped along its length and finishes in a round ball at each tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 4.5 inches with the bail and 78 grams, this is one of the larger najas in the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Buffalo is a white stone with black chert matrix, mined in Nevada. It is not turquoise, despite the trade often calling it white turquoise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChimney Butte is a Navajo (Dine) silversmith working out of New Mexico in a deliberately old style idiom: heavy gauge sterling, deep hand stamping, repousse, sandcast work, and good named mine turquoise. The mark is one of the most recognisable in contemporary Southwestern silver, which is part of why the work holds its value. Every piece is stamped Chimney Butte and Sterling on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hangs from a wide stamped bail that takes a heavy chain, so it will sit on Navajo pearls, a thick box chain, or a leather cord without looking under hung. Worn alone it does all the work; it does not need layering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent.
