A deep, yet bright and intense color red quartz “lava” pendant on a 24” black metal chain with lobster clasp closure. The color gradation is gradual, beginning with a deep, dark hue at the base, and lightening to a translucent papaya-orange at the tip which has some interesting, yet subtle, striping. The tip captures light beautifully! One side boasts a ridge which adds interest to shape and color. The opposite side is smooth. This is one of the designer’s favorites for it’s balanced appearance and overall length and weight.

Volcanic activity is a defining aspect of Iceland, yet the Icelanders have learned to adapt to the threat over the centuries. This was not always the case, and eruptions led to many deaths and large-scale destruction among early settlers, who had little to no warning. Despite modernization, Iceland is still very much the land of Fire & Ice, as the active volcanoes demonstrate to this day. SIGIL honors the element of Fire through ten red quartz and “rooster” amphibole pieces in the LAVA category.
