~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This collection is more about the stones than the design, but I'll take credit for the design and let you know a bit about the stones... Royston Ribbon turquoise is from the Boulder mine and was discovered in the 1970s by a herder who came upon a vein of turquoise in the hills. The production of this turquoise is small because of the remote location of the mine, which makes it valuable for its rarity as well as its beauty. These particular stones remind me of the blue lines (as in the blue lines of a map) I wade in during the spring, summer and fall here in the Southeast. I feel free as a bird when I'm able to go. Made for the river spirit. Lightweight as always. Built to last.
