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 faceted drop 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: This one made me grin the whole time I was working on it. It's such an immense stone that I could never picture myself wearing it, but I knew how lovely it would look on someone else! This is a big-- BIG-- faceted gemstone! And it's very lovely. A rich deep mocha color, brought out with some really wonderful faceting. This stone is eye-clean... uncommon for such a large stone... and has only the tiniest inclusions if you examine it very closely with the naked eye. I used a ton of silver in this to wrap it securely and give it some lovely cascading adornments. This is not a pendant for those that prefer small, delicate pieces!
Please take a look at the Video demonstrating the flash in this stone:


Recommended necklace size: This pendant does not come with a chain/necklace. This pendant will look nice on any size chain but looks especially great on a heavier chain or choker/collar.

Size: Please see above photo for dimensions. Pendant is pictured with a U.S. Dime for size reference. (Hint: if you are having a hard time picturing the size of this pendant, scale the above photo so that the dime is the size of a real dime on your screen. The pendant will then be at actual size.)

Note that all of my pendants are one of a kind! While I may make similar pieces in the future, no two will ever be exactly alike.
