1 Answer
Is White Buffalo turquoise real?
White Buffalo or white buffalo turquoise is not real turquoise, but it is a gemstone that’s classified as magnesite and alumite. This beautiful stone is found in a single region in Nevada and while it does look like white turquoise, it is its own gemstone—not turquoise at all.
