Beautiful and mysterious skeletal quartz mineral pendant perfect for the haunting season. Mineral was selected for its incredibly dramatic skeletal appearance. Strung simple and elegant 30” smooth 1mm thick leather cord. Stone is worked into epoxy putty clay and copper ring that hardens into a stone-like texture and is made entirely by hand by the designer. A raw look pendant that mimics the frozen waters of a winter stream. The piece is finished with layers of dry pigment shading (silver and black) then sealed and strung, ready for wear. This particular stone was selected for its unique shape and opaqueness. The mineral has a unique layered, skeletal look (see photos).

About Skeletal Quartz: "Skeletal Quartz crystals often form with a geometric pattern of lines, depressions and raised terminations (related to the quartz crystal structure) etched into their surface. Internally, these crystals exhibit plainly visible cavities in geometric patterns (also related to the quartz crystal structure) which can contain clay minerals of varied colors, sometimes accompanied by carbon dioxide or water. These cavities often have a layered or ribbed aspect and are sometimes so pronounced as to make the crystal almost hollow, giving rise to the term Skeletal Quartz. Occasionally these cavities contain both liquid and gas phases together known as two-phase inclusions. In rare cases, these two-phase inclusions in quartz can be visible to the unaided eye and may show actual movement of the gas phase within the liquid phase (popularly known as Elestial Quartz crystal 'Enhydros')“
