O Madame Bovary, lovely French farm girl with a craving for a different life! Sadly, her ideas of what
life should be blind her to the pleasures of what life could be, and she ends her life disillusioned by
love and under a debt she cannot repay. Thankfully, we can sympathize with Emma Bovary - think of
how we love stories of the rich and famous! royalty! - but without going to her extremes. This necklace is
rather extravagant for everyday wear, but that is the purpose for such a necklace: to take a person
out of the daily routine. The deep purple color might suggest amethyst but the stones are all fluorite,
which has the widest color range of any mineral thanks to the variety of trace elements that can find
a home in its cubic structure. Unfortunately, this structure leads to its perfect octahedral cleavage
(easy fracture / breakage planes) so the stone is fragile compared with tourmaline, garnet or quartz.
The sterling silver open cable chain gives it an adjustable length from 19" to 24".
Cost: $118.00 USD

The fluorite gemstones are a relatively soft stone, and they may break or chip if dropped
or handled roughly, so the recommendation is to keep this necklace out of the hands of
kids. As with
all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
