Boulder turquoise, also known as ribbon turquoise, is a rare form of turquoise found in the Royston district of Nevada, where it forms as veins of turquoise within host boulders of host rock, rather than solely in veins or small nodules. It is characterized by the turquoise ribbons or florets that run through the surrounding host rock, making it a unique and highly valued stone.
