Wild Horse is the marketing name for a new find of magnesite/hematite from the Gila Wilderness Area in Southern Arizona. Yummy chocolate brown is actually the matrix in this new Magnesite with antique white as the base color. This new Magnesite was discovered near Globe, Arizona while mining for other minerals. It is called Wild Horse because of its resemblance to those Pinto horses with brown on white patches known to roam free in the southwest and who were also a favorite horse of many Native Americans.
