Natural Royston Turquoise Teardrop Pendant

The Royston turquoise mines are located in Nevada near the town of Tonopah. Some of the turquoise cabochons are solid chunks of mostly turquoise with a small bit of matrix rock. The solid pieces are natural Royston turquoise. Others are “boulder turquoise” – veins of turquoise running through the matrix of rock. Sometimes the veins look like ribbons and will be referred to as “ribbon turquoise.” Tonopah is surrounded by turquoise mines.
