Boulder Turquoise is sometimes called Ribbon Turquoise. Boulder Turquoise is found in the original Royston Mines, near Tonapah, Nevada. Boulder Turquoise is comprised of the stone surrounding thin ribbons of Turquoise. Most of the stone that surrounds Turquoise is too brittle to cut and polish. It is unusual to find this dense hard stone. It has such great coloring on it’s own with shades of Teal running through rich brown boulders. This is part of natures own art! All of our Boulder Turquoise is hand crafted by Native Americans.
