Queen Anne's lace lepidolite necklace

This necklace features a deep rose-colored lepidolite stone. Lepidolite is a very special gem- it's hard to show without video, but it has a beautiful depth and Schiller effect (a shimmer that travels across the surface when you tilt the stone). 

It can be hard to find gem-grade lepidolite in such nice quality,  but I am always hunting and I was really glad to get my hands on these large specimens! It is a fairly delicate stone, so try to store it in a soft, safe place when it's not around your neck. 

On the back of the pendant is a super-detailed molding of a real Queen Anne's lace flowerhead. 

Pendant size: 30mm tall, 21mm wide

Chain length: 19 inches

Materials

This necklace is made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
