White turquoise is something of a misnomer. To be true turquoise, the stone must contain some copper, and when copper oxidizes, it turns blue-green. So even though there might not be much copper in "white" turquoise, there will be enough to give it at least a slightly aqua color. (There is a white stone, howlite, that is sometimes misidentified as white turquoise, but that's another story.)
These pretty white turquoise nuggets are a refreshing pastel shade, combined with a darker green nugget on each earring for contrast. The earrings will look great with an aqua tee or a teal shirt, for example. They're also great with denim and could be nice with some prints that contain these colors, too. The turquoise nuggets have a matte surface that is balanced by a polished lapis rondel, a subtle touch that makes a smooth transition to the small, shiny silver accent bead on the ear wire above.
These new earrings will be delivered on the crisp display card shown. They're also equipped with translucent rubber clutches to prevent loss.

Who We Are
Canyon Echoes Gallery is an eBay store that sells excellent Native American jewelry and fetish carvings and strives to provide equally good customer service. Now in our 26th year in business, we deal in
genuine
American Indian goods, including new and vintage/antique items. Most come from either the artists themselves, reservation trading posts, or veteran dealers with impeccable credentials.
Almost every piece of Native American art offers insight into the culture behind it. Sometimes you can see it right away; other times it's more subtle. But you'll never find that special quality in a cheap imitation. That's why we're so particular about what we sell...and have been since 1995. We think we have some of the best Indian material on eBay and hope you think so, too.
If you like what you see, please view our other listings and make us one of your favorite stores. We're glad to combine shipping to save you money, and...
We welcome the opportunity to serve you.
Thanks for your business--we truly appreciate it!
