Tommy Jackson has often shown up at the trading post riding his signature Harley Davidson motorcycle, which is always a spectacle. For this heavy silver and #8 turquoise belt buckle, Tommy has used deep stamping to highlight his beautifully clean silverwork. The simplicity of the silver shows off the beauty of the stone. The #8 mine is located in Eureka County Nevada and was originally discovered in 1925. Unfortunately, the mine no longer produces turquoise because it now is exclusively a gold mine.
