Rocky Mountains Own - Utah Picture Rock - Pendant






One super fine multiple drop stone porcelain Beryllium (Bertrandite, Tiffany Stone, Opal Stone) multiple stone pendant. This stone can have a wide array of hues, everything from creamy to dark purple to milky pink and always with fabulous dendrites.

I cut and polished these free form pieces to reflect the awesome dendredic patterns found in this natural wonder. Get this...the original mine is now closed to collecting, something to do with insurance, but the rock itself is used by metal fabrication company's to strengthen iron for metal buildings....Go figure?

Each piece has been wire-wrapped with 20 gauge sterling silver and linked together with 2mm black leather cording, two 8mm sterling beads and lamp work glass beads from my OH, so favorite "skaramouhe".
The neck length is a comfortable 16", vintage celluloid button clasp.
