DESCRIPTION: The pendant in the image is a Southwestern-style piece featuring a large central stone, White Buffalo turquoise (or howlite/magnesite) and a small inlay of orange spiny oyster and blue-green turquoise. It is set in sterling silver, indicated by the metal color and common style of this type of jewelry.

Key Features

Central Stone: The main, oval-shaped white stone with black matrix (veining) is characteristic of genuine White Buffalo turquoise mined in Nevada, or a similar-looking mineral such as howlite or magnesite, often marketed under the same name.

Accent Inlay: A small, horizontal inlay near the bottom right of the main stone appears to contain chip inlay of bright orange spiny oyster shell and possibly a small piece of blue or green turquoise.

Metal: The metal appears to be sterling silver, a common choice for authentic Native American and Southwestern jewelry. The style with a generous bail (the loop for a chain) and decorative metalwork suggests a handcrafted design, by a Navajo artist.
