The Royston and Dry Creek turquoise mines, both located in Nevada, contribute distinct varieties of turquoise to the world of gemstones. Royston turquoise, mined near Tonopah, is renowned for its vibrant colors, ranging from striking blues and greens to earthy browns, often displaying a beautiful matrix that enhances its visual appeal. The Royston district consists of several mines, each yielding unique variations of this prized gem. On the other hand, Dry Creek turquoise, situated in the central part of the state, stands out for its pale blue to whitish hues, a rarity among turquoise varieties. What makes Dry Creek particularly unique is its scarcity of matrix, creating a pristine, almost solid appearance. Both Royston and Dry Creek turquoise have gained popularity among jewelry designers and collectors for their individual characteristics, contributing to the diverse and rich tapestry of American turquoise. Sterling silver, marked. Signed by Santo Domingo artist, J.L. Coriz. The length of the necklace measures around 21". Sturdy 11 grams.
