Materials: Genuine, solid smokey quartz and Argentium Sterling Silver.
Argentium Sterling silver is a modern sterling silver alloy. It is a true Sterling silver and contains 92.5% silver just as all other Sterling Silvers do, however it has many advantages over normal Sterling Silver. Traditional Sterling is made with a 7.5% copper alloy to give it enough hardness to create jewelry with. Argentium Sterling Silver instead has an alloy of Germanium. This means that Argentium Sterling Silver is extremely tarnish resistant, is somewhat harder to scratch, and does not cause allergies in for most people that are sensitive to Sterling Silver. Nearly everyone that suffers from allergy problems with traditional Sterling Silver find that they do not experience problems with Argentium Sterling Silver. Further, because Argentium Sterling Silver does not produce firescale, it does not require chemical treatments like traditional sterling silver does and therefore is far more environmentally friendly.
Stone quality/specs: Solid Smokey Quartz, cut in a fancy faceted shape. Smokey quartz is safely and permanently heat-treated to bing out color. Even though it has been heat-treated (warmed up) it is still a natural gemstone and is not man-made.
Description: A really fantastic and uniquely cut smokey quartz! This stone is a 'fancy' cut, which is pretty much a freeform faceted cut. The result is a very elegant and wonderful shaped stone. This quartz is eye-clean with no visible inclusions. It's a lovely light mocha color and very calming. Very sparkly!
