About the stone:
Dry Creek turquoise is a rare, naturally pale blue-white material discovered in 1993 by the Shoshone tribe near Battle Mountain in Lander County, Nevada. This dreamy material boasts distinct, soft coloring caused by a lack of heavy metals (copper and aluminum, which typically create the blue and green hues in most turquoise deposits). The mine is currently closed and supplies are extremely limited, with most quality material having been mined in the 1990s. Because of this, Native Americans often refer to this material as "Sacred Buffalo" turquoise, because it is considered as rare as the white buffalo.
Crystal lore:
Turquoise is an ancient, revered stone symbolizing sky, water, health, and protection across cultures. Historically prized by Native Americans, it was worn as a protective amulet, believed to guard against evil, bring good fortune, and strengthen warriors. It is often associated with calmness, wisdom, and friendship, and is widely considered a stone of communication, believed to enhance clarity, confidence, and honest self-expression through the throat chakra.
Please note: All of my jewelry is handcrafted with love and intention in my tiny Pittsburgh, PA home studio. Due to the handmade nature of this craft, there may be slight imperfections, making each one-of-a-kind piece charmingly imperfect (just the way that handmade jewelry is intended to be).
