Bobby Johnson

Bobby Johnson is a respected Navajo silversmith based in Church Rock, New Mexico, a community known for its rich tradition of Native American jewelry-making. As one of the "elders" in the silverworking community, Bobby is highly esteemed for his expertise and production skills, often sought after for guidance by fellow artisans.

Bobby’s journey in silversmithing began in the early 1970s, learning the craft from his older siblings, who are also skilled silversmiths. Growing up in a family dedicated to this art, he developed a profound love for working with silver and turquoise that has only deepened over the years. Now in his sixties, Bobby remains as productive as ever, creating unique designs that blend traditional techniques with his personal style.

His pieces are celebrated for their quality and craftsmanship, earning him a loyal following among collectors of Native American jewelry. Bobby’s passion for his craft ensures that his creations will continue to be cherished for years to come.

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.
