Natural Royston Turquoise

We are sorry to say that we have sold out of rough Royston Turquoise. There is no doubt that there is still a lot of wonderful Turquoise in them there hills but since the mine tours began, the actual mining of the mine for gem grade Turquoise as slowed to a crawl. As a result, Royston Turquoise has been difficult to obtain.

We have been cutting a lot of Royston Turquoise ourselves and have been putting them in Royston Turquoise Jewelry and selling cabochons in our online store. You can find Royston Turquoise cabochons available for purchase by going to the cabochons tab to the left.

Rough Royston Turquoise

The Royston Turquoise Mine produces a beautiful medium blue to dark green turquoise with golden brown matrix. Once in a while you will get a stone that is blue to green fade, it is our favorite and it is really beautiful.

Royston Turquoise is most often found in thin seems in a gold brown colored host rock called Ryolite. In general, the thinner veins produce the deepest colored Turquoise.
