Chrysocolla Pendant, Sterling Silver, Oxidized Granulation, Teal Blue Teardrop, Dramatic Statement Necklace

Chrysocolla produces a blue-green that doesn't have an equivalent anywhere else in the gem world. This particular stone sits at the saturated end of that spectrum, with vivid teal shifting toward green as the light moves across it, the kind of color that feels like standing at the edge of a vast expanse of deep blue ocean. 

Spheres of various sizes surround the stone. Each sphere is individually planned and placed so the grouping gives a "frilled" effect, which ornaments the stone rather than overpowering it. The dark silver pulls the teal forward and gives the pendant a weight and presence that emphasizes the stone's vivid color. 

Hallmarked .925 and Blue Piranha.

Size is just under 1 inch (2.5 cm) long from top of bail to bottom of pendant, and just under 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) wide. Weight is 5.6 grams. 

The pendant arrives gift boxed in a soft pouch with a story card.

Each pendant is available without a chain. If you'd like to add one, I offer several lengths and styles, please choose from the options at checkout. Every chain comes with a 2-inch extender so you can vary the length.

Good for: the woman who wears color like a point of view. For the jewelry lover who buys small but wears it like it's the biggest statement in the room.  The collector who wants a stone with depth and a design to match.

About Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a copper-bearing mineral that forms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, often alongside turquoise, malachite, and azurite. Copper gives chrysocolla its characteristic blue to blue-green color. Iron, when present, tends to pull the color toward greener or darker tones, and the warm brown and darker patches visible in many specimens are typically iron oxide in the host rock matrix. It takes a high polish and shows a wider range of color than most turquoise. When malachite is present, as it appears to be in this pendant, the palette deepens toward rich green, adding complexity to the stone's already variable color range.
