This Turquoise comes from the Royston mine in Nevada,and is a nice drilled piece of turquoise. I am with time going to offer these very unique drilled turquoise pieces from several mines with many colors and shapes and patterns. The standard drilled turquoise nuggets that are available have a very small hole drilled in them that will allow a small size string to be pulled through them. This piece however I have drilled a hole much larger which will allow you to string them on leather cords and other necklace cords that are up to eighth 4 mm diameter. I have shown in the pictures both the top and bottom of the stone.
If you need a custom sterling bale or ring mounted on store the nugget, just message me or any other request.
