This stone is wonderful. The patterns and colors are just intriguing! I really love it with the rose cut Citrine Wildflowers, that echo the colors in the stone!
One of the Hottest stones going right now- 7 Dwarfs mine was just discovered not too long ago. With all the interesting colors and patterns and matrix, very reminiscent of New Lander and Damele, its destined to be come a classic, and already very collectible..
This mine is located East of Tonopah, Nevada, just North of the old Dry Creek Mine. They are finding Turquoise, Variquoise, and Chalcosiderite in this deposit.
When asked how the name of the mine came about, the Miner said, I was wondering around in the desert, wishing to find a new deposit, and I actually found one! It was like a Fairy Tale! That's the first name that popped into my mind, and it just stuck!
I took this wonderful 7 Dwarfs stone and created a silver setting for it using my collection of silversmithing hand tools and torch. The flowers, and raindrops are handmade. All made by my hands, with much attention to detail, here in my shop in Rural Oklahoma.
Some information about 7 Dwarfs from a highly respected stone cutter-
"Some of the minerals discovered are as follows: Turquoise, Variscite, Chalcosiderite, Crandallite, Gem Silica and perhaps a new hybrid material, which is what the highest grade of the bulk yield is consisted of. My GUESS is that it could possibly be something along the lines of “Chalcosilica” – yeah, I just made that word up. (I attribute it to being a cross between Chalcosiderite and Gem Silica. This material is highly silicated I would guess for it to be a 6.5-7 on MOHs scale.) Kinda like the use of the word Variquoise…doesn't exist as a real classification but it's a common way of describing a hybrid material" by http://www.excavade.com

from 1801 reviewsThe Tres Flora Stacker Cuff bracelet is beautiful! This is the second Tres Flora bracelet I have bought, and both are so fun to stack and wear with different bracelets. Quality is impeccable and detail is perfect!
Wanda always does an excellent job!
I recently introduced my daughter-in-law to my Wild at Heart collection of which I have many pieces. She admired several of my White Buffalo items so I’ve been watching for the perfect Christmas gift for her. Since she wears dangling earrings, I knew this pair would be just the thing to please her. Wow! I was so impressed when they arrived! They’re simply stunning! Now I can’t wait to present her with them next month. I have no doubt that she will be thrilled.
I have been purchasing treasures from Wanda for many years, and she never disappoints. Her craftsmanship and the quality of the stones are the absolute highest one can find. This pendant is the perfect reflection of that tradition. It’s a big old beautiful pendant that’s sure to be noticed and appreciated for years. Love it!
Wanda has done it again!!!
My new favourite piece from Wanda. This white Buffalo ring is Gorgeous! Best silversmith I’ve ever seen, her craft work is flawless.
What you created Wanda is more beautiful than I envisioned. I make some jewelry, like Folky pieces seen @ Sundance catalog, vintage beads, real stones, asymmetrical, . However, this is gorgeous. My husband is critical of me and my jewelry.
I didn't tell him I bought this. And he thought this pendant [ I placed it upon a Navajo small pearl necklace I had] was just beautiful. I love the meanings for Royston Turquoise [ looked it up] and the use of Citrine, a stone without negativity either. It feels so good to wear. I keep it in a special box and I cherish it. You are very talented and more, Wanda. Thank you.
My first Naja! Such a beautiful piece. Looks fantastic with my Navajo Pearls from Wanda. The Tyrone turquoise and amber are so beautifully matched I couldn’t resist buying it. Love how Wanda hand makes all her pieces and takes such care to find perfect pieces of turquoise and stones. Have many pieces of Wanda’s jewelry. Fell in love with the quality of work and care she puts into every piece. Can’t go wrong purchasing from her.
My Spirit Pony turquoise pendent is gorgeous and perfect. I am so happy I made this heirloom purchase. Thank you Wanda.
The title says it all. I loved this spirit horse when I saw it on line. It arrived today. When I opened the box, I was overwhelmed. Just beautiful. I'm wearing it tomorrow.
Now to look for something else!
Wanda is my favorite silversmith hands down!!! Every single piece I have purchased from Wanda has been perfectly hand crafted. Not only are the colors beautiful but the wear is comfortable. I Will always buy her pieces.
What a beautiful ring! The details are exquisite. I love the color of this stone. I have many rings and I think this might be my new favorite. Shipped very fast. Highly recommended!
OMG! I have several pairs of earrings from Wanda, and they are all awesome. But these...are the cats' pajamas! Well made and the pink stones are beyond my expectations.
The quality of this ring is far beyond my expectations. It is stunning and I am buying the bracelet to match. Wanda is great to work with. She goes out of her way to work with you.
