BLUE GEM NATURAL TURQUESA
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. refroyston11
