ROCK FACTS:

ROYSTON TURQUOISE

Royston Turquoise is unmistakable in Jewelry, it can be detected by its bold color variations. Often you will see blue with dark blue areas or light green with clouds of dark greens and the ultimate is beautiful blue with emerald green areas and a golden brown matrix in unique patterns. Jewelers love making Royston Turquoise Jewelry as their imagination goes wild creating designs to accommodate the splendor of the beautiful Turquoise. Today jewelers use all types of Royston Turquoise in their jewelry and make blue Royston Turquoise Jewelry, green Royston Turquoise jewelry, and "Boulder or Ribbon" turquoise jewelry. Royston Turquoise comes from the Royston mining district located near Tonapah, Nevada. "Royston Turquoise," originally consisted of four old Turquoise claims: Bunker Hill, Easter Blue, Oscar Wehrend, and Royal Blue. Lynn Otteson moved to Tonopah to mine authentic Royston Turquoise in 1958 and the family has been mining Turquoise at Royston and throughout the area since. The Royston Hills have a historic past for being one of the top Turquoise producing locations in Nevada. Turquoise from this area has spectacular color variations and has even been named Blue Gem in the past – Tonopah Blue Gem! Many people call Royston “Nevada Green Turquoise” and there have been many other nick names for it in the past, however, the underlying factor is the Royston Turquoise Mine in the Royston Hills of Nevada is one of the best producing mines of high grade natural Turquoise in the United States.
