Wild Horse is also known as Crazy Horse Stone or Appaloosa Stone.

It is actually white magnesite with brown mottling, just like a paint horse. It also contains hematite.

Though sometimes called White Turquoise or Wild Horse Turquoise-it is not Turquoise.

This semiprecious stone is often used in Native American designs.

Wild Horse was first found in the mid-90's near the copper mining city of Globe in Gila County, southeastern Arizona. You can not drive to the location, so all the material has to be hiked out over a mile through rugged terrain.

Wild Horse has a hardness of 4, so care should be taken when setting, polishing and wearing Wild Horse designer cabochons.
