White Buffalo

Jerry and Donna moved to Truckee in 1989 and opened the White Buffalo. Donna's family has been in the "Native American Indian jewelry, arts, and crafts" business since 1970. They have continued the tradition in the wonderful town of Truckee, where their children grew up and they enjoy the beautiful mountain community as a family.

The White Buffalo is both an online and brick and mortar store. We check our emails and voicemails on a regular basis. Our physical store hours vary depending on the time of year. We generally are open 10:00 to 6:00pm Pacific Standard time daily most of the year. We are located in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the Lake Tahoe area. Snow storms and power outages can impact our store hours. If we don't get back to you during the winter months immediately please keep this in mind.

The gold-enriched quartz from the Original 16 to 1 mine has extraordinary white quartz and gold patterns. The specimens are cut into elegant inlay and cabochon stones and set in 14-karat gold. All the nuggets used in our jewelry are natural Placer Gold nuggets; the accent diamonds are standard SI (slightly imperfect) quality and GH (near-colorless) in color.

MOVA Globes combine effortless performance with eye-catching graphics. Each handcrafted globe mingles vibrant artwork with our patented technology for flawless rotation without batteries or messy cords. Hidden solar cells use ambient light for power, while the earth's magnetic field provides the necessary torque.
