White Mountain is also known as White Buffalo, White Buffalo Turquoise and Sacred Buffalo Turquoise. Technically not turquoise because it lacks the presence of heavy metals copper, iron or zinc, is often called White Buffalo Turquoise due to its discovery in a turquoise mine. It is very rare and coveted for its distinct qualities, and has become increasingly popular in Native American and Southwestern jewelry. With only a single White Mountain vein known in existence and a very limited quantity remaining, White Mountain jewelry has become very popular due to its uniqueness, extreme rarity, and affinity to the sacred white buffalo.
