The Star People - Genuine Royston Turquoise Necklace
Huge, heavy USA Royston Turquoise (old vintage stock), natural, untreated, no color added. Smooth black spinel. Sterling Silver Bench Beads, star design. Sterling Silver plated clasp and beadwire, two metal dragonflies signifying transformation at nape of the neck.
Royston Turquoise comes from Nevada's Royston mine, which is closed commercially but still produces in very small quantities. This is *vintage* Royston Turquoise, high quality, heavy, and rare. Because it is untreated and no color added, it is highly sought after. These stones are a blue-green with black matrix, some webbing. Bench beads are made from a silver blank, then hand worked to give their unique designs and stamping. These are Sterling silver, with the "star" design, and show beautiful detail typical of southwest styles.
If you like your Turquoise big and chunky, this is for you. It carries the energy of water, the storm, and the stars, balanced by the grounding and protection of black spinel.
As always, this piece is one of a kind.
