Royston is 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.

This beautiful and unique copper oxide comes from Sonora, Mexico. While exploring for copper the miners came across this material at a deep level and excavated all they could and then went on to another level. They never came across anything similar after that. The material is made up up cuprite, malacite and crysacola. The patterns are amazing! Although there was quite a bit of this material when it was first discovered it is becoming quite rare.
