Persians wore turquoise jewelry. They believed turquoise offered protection by changing color to warn of pending doom. The turquoise jewelry commonly associated with Native Americans today originated in the 1880s, when a trader convinced a Navajo craftsman to craft a silver coin into turquoise jewelry.

White Buffalo turquoise is a rare white and black stone primarily mined in Tonopah, Nevada, often used in Native American-turquoise jewelry. It is valued for its striking black/white contrast and it represents the sacred White Buffalo.
