Natural Royston Turquoise

Royston is a group of old Nevada Mines that produce a beautiful medium blue to dark green turquoise with brown matrix. Once in a while you will get a stone that is blue to green fade as well as emerald green stones. This is vien and seam material. It is a treat to cut as most all of the stones are winners! You will love this material. Note: you will need to saw the host rock away from the Turquoise as it is vein material. This is what makes this Turquoise so rich in color and matrix. Infact a lot of times we find the thinner the vien, the higher the grade of the material, that seems to be the case with most turquoise. DSC has cut many types of turquoise and we put Royston in our tops category! It is great stuff, buy it once and you will be back for more. Most of our current customers come back for more again and again, some times we are sold out before the shipment reaches Durango.
