The Royston district is one of Nevada’s better known turquoise production areas. The Royston Turquoise mine is located near Tonopah Nevada. The mine was discovered as early as 1902 and are the oldest patented mines in Nevada.
Royston turquoise is known for its beautiful deep green rich light blue colors. These unique color ranges ae what makes the stone so special. Royston stones are often two tone displaying both dark and light green and sometimes blue. Royston has a heavy matrix ranging from brown to gold in color.
This matrix makes for beautiful combinations with the color variations of the Royston Turquoise stone.

The Pilot Mountain mine is located in western Nevada, east of the town of Mina. As with most turquoise mines, this mine opened as a copper claim. Pilot Mountain turquoise was first mined in 1930 as a tunnel mine then it became an open pit. While Pilot Mountain is considered an active mine, it is a very small operation.

Pilot Mountain turquoise forms in hard veins with color ranging from bright blue to dark blue with a greenish cast. Dark brown limonite mottled patterns are associated with this material. Most Pilot Mountain turquoise is called “grass roots”, meaning the best deposits are found within ten feet of the surface.
