The Royston turquoise mine, located in the rugged hills of Esmeralda County, Nevada, is renowned for producing some of the most diverse and sought-after varieties of turquoise in the world. This historic mine has been in operation since the early 1900s and has garnered a reputation for its exceptional range of colors and distinctive matrix patterns. Royston turquoise can exhibit shades ranging from vibrant blues and greens to deeper, earthier tones, often interwoven with intricate brown or golden matrix, creating a visually captivating effect. Mined from a series of interconnected pits and tunnels, the Royston deposit is known for its relative hardness, making it highly suitable for intricate lapidary work. The mine's turquoise has been cherished by artisans and collectors for its versatility and unique aesthetic qualities. Today, Royston turquoise remains a cornerstone of American turquoise production, cherished for its enduring beauty and rich cultural heritage. The center stone measures around 1-1/8" x 3/4". The width of the bracelet measures around 1-3/8". Signed by Navajo artist, L.Y. Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 5-1/4" with an additional 1-5/8" gap. Sturdy 26 grams.
