is as rare as the sacred buffalo; Native Americans call it “Sacred Buffalo Turquoise”. When discovered near Battle Mountain , they were not sure what it was. Because of the hardness of the stone, and the color of the vein, a decision was made to have it examined and tested. It was in fact . Dry Creek Turquoise is a natural stone and has not been treated with any process to change the color and/o the hardness of the natural materials of the stone.

Turquoise gets it color from the heavy metals in the ground where it forms. It is hydrous phosphate of aluminum, containing copper and iron and so it is somewhat porous. Blue turquoise forms when there is copper present, which is the case with most Arizona Turquoise. Green Turquoise forms when iron is present, which is the case with some Nevada Turquoises. Dry Creek Turquoise forms when there are no heavy metals present. The lack of any specific color consistency and exotic matrixes varieties makes this stone distinctive and unique from other turquoises. To date, no other vein of this turquoise has been discovered anywhere else other than at the Dry Creek mine.

Boulder Turquoise
Also known as Royston Ribbon, the Boulder turquoise mine was originally found in the original Royston mines, near Tonapah, Nevada in the 1970’s by a Shoshone sheep herder. It is also mined from the Bisbee, Hachita, Tortoise, Turquoise Bonanza, Villa Grove, and Ajax mines. When you look at Boulder Turquoise Jewelry, you can see the veins (or ribbons) of Turquoise running through the host rock, which is typically Jasper. It has such great coloring, with shades of Teal running through rich brown boulders. The uniqueness of the turquoise patterns that map through beautiful and varied brown boulder stones really gives Boulder Turquoise jewelry its own distinctive flair.

The Zia symbol is a sun with four lines of rays emanating out of four sides, symbolizing the four cardinal directions. According to the Zia Pueblo, “The number four is a sacred number to the Zia, representing the four cardinal directions, the four seasons of the year, the four stages of life, and the four sacred obligations one must develop: a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit, and a devotion to the welfare of others.”
