Tourmilated Quartz and Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace- Tourmilated quartz is a type of clear quartz crystal that contains inclusions of black tourmaline, which often appear as dark, needle-like strands or patches within the quartz. This particular marquis-shaped crystal is nearly clear, with patches of cloud-like opacity and striking black needles . The quartz is encased in sterling silver, surrounded with sterling bead wire and hand wrought granules made from molten silver. I added a peek-a-boo window in the back so the beautiful inclusions really shine!
This one of a kind statement pendant measures approximately 2" in length and is 1" in width at its widest point. The sterling silver has been darkened, polished by hand, and tumbled in two separate mediums to acquire a beautiful patina. An 18", 1.25mm oxidized box chain is included in this listing.
