Sierra Madre Chrysocolla, from Norther New Mexico. Discovered, mined, cut, and polished by the same two people. I met this
uncle-nephew team of lapidary artists at the Tucson gem shows year. They had the best cuts, most fun shapes and incredible high quality stones, including these. I loved them already, and then he told me the name, so I had to have them.
This piece has an incredible tall angular cut, it's tall and thick with such incredible color that catches the light. It is so simple in its shape, but anything but boring, it has a great weight to it and drapes across the chest beautifully.
Total length 18" and the pendant measures 1.75"
