Kathleen Livingston Chavez

Kathleen Livingston Chavez was born on December 17, 1958, in Church Rock, New Mexico, where she still resides with her husband, Lorenzo Juan. She began her silversmithing journey in 1974, initially creating earrings, rings, and bracelets. By 1994, Kathleen expanded her artistry to include unique, high-end jewelry designs. She expresses great enjoyment in this evolution of her craft, stating, “It is more fun to make because of the amount of thought and imagination you have to put into it.” Today, she operates out of Gallup, New Mexico, continuing to innovate and inspire through her jewelry.

White Buffalo:

White Buffalo is in fact NOT turquoise. Although White Buffalo is often sold as turquoise, it's classification is actually magnesite and alumite. Its unique coloring comes from the presence of Calcite mineral. The only mine known to be home to White Buffalo is The Dry Creek Mine in Tonopah, NV. It was first discovered by the Otteson family in 1993. The name derives from the Native American belief that white buffaloes are pure and rare like the white buffalo stone. The white stone is surrounded by black and brown flint-like chert which creates beautiful patterns, and sometimes in rare pieces, a spider-web matrix. The stone appears in veins, is as hard as turquoise (Mohs hardness scale of 5.5 to 7.5) and cuts and polishes like turquoise.
