When it was discovered and found to be such an uncommon turquoise and so pale in color, the Shoshone Indians named it "Sacred Buffalo" turquoise after the legend of the white buffalo.

Authentic Dry Creek or Sacred Buffalo turquoise is also called white buffalo turquoise.  It should never be confused with other stones that are called "white buffalo" which are actually howlite, magnesite and other white stones that usually have gray and black matrices in them. (Matrix is the dark minerals that show up within the stone.)
