Fabulous

The stones in this necklace are impressive! The large, rare, intense green 15mm trillion shape Turkish obsidian is teamed with a 25mm x 20mm ammolite. Ammolite is an opalized ammonite fossil, millions of years old, which grows in Southern Alberta, Canada. There is only one mine so it is truly a finite gemstone. It is also a baby of gemstones because it was discovered in the early 1980s! For an opal that grew on an ammonite fossil that is millions of years old, it shined quietly in the ground for all of that time. I find that fascinating. (It almost makes me believe that there could be a Lock Ness Monster or Big Foot!) The bezels on these large stones are hand crafted from 22k gold bezel wire. The rest of the metalwork is 14k gold. The beads are facetted fine chrome diopside and facetted rare kyanite beads with 14k gold accent beads for a finished touch. The length is 18.75” with a lobster claw clasp. It is a signed piece, strung on a durable synthetic string that moves like silk but won't shred, stretch, or fray like silk. The entire pendant is 1.75' x 1.5”.
