A magnificent cluster of 16 Royston Turquoise is used by Navajo artist Bernyse Chavez in the design of this pendant. This large pendant measures 4" in length and offers a bail large enough to fit just about any type of necklace. Set in solid sterling silver. One of the finest pieces we have to offer. A true statement piece! Please call with any questions.
Royston: A district in Nevada consisting of three turquoise mines: Bunker Hill, Oscar Wehrend, and the main producer, The Royal Blue. Royston is known for its beautiful colors ranging from deep green to rich, light blues which are set off by a heavy brown matrix. The Royston mine is producing a little high-grade turquoise today, operated by the Ottison family. They process most of their material into finished cabs and allow very little rough to come onto the market. This controlled output has raised the price of this material considerably in recent years.
