Royston turquoise

Hello. I just found this piece which looks to be made by Philip Sanchez from my research. Can anyone tell me if this is Royston turquoise? It looks like some Royston ribbon pieces I have seen online. Thank you! Lin

Looking at some Philip Sanchez pendants online, the construction of the bail looks the same to me as your pendant. Signature looks right. IDK if this is Royston turquoise, but I’ve seen similar turquoise online described as Ribbon or Boulder turquoise. Very nice pendant.

I would think it’d be really hard to tell what kind of turquoise this is since there is so little in it. And I’m thinking Boulder turquoise is just referring to turquoise with a lot of host rock in it?

Maybe Pete Sanchez rather than Philip. Looks like Hougart’s Pete Sanchez hallmark photo. I guess could be either Philip or Pete. Hmm
