Royston Nevada natural turquoise nuggets. Four old time specimens
from one of the top locations ever known. The Royston or Tonopah Mining
District was early on a producer of precious metals. Later, as the shallow
lodes played out, fine hard turquoise was discovered and mined for Indian
jewelry. For over a hundred years the lovely gems have been coveted by
artistic metalsmiths of all persuasions. These are exactly as dug long ago
and have been released from a private collection. The total weight is eighty
carats and the strong colors run from green to blue.
