Visiting a natural hot spring can be magical and therapeutic, depending on the minerals in the water. Mineral-rich water is also the source of many gemstones that form in pegmatites, such as the unusual gemstone in this 19" necklace that has steely blue-green coloring like those steaming pools. Grandidierite comes from Madagascar, where it forms in pegmatite rock. Pegmatites result from magna pushing to the surface, cooling, cracking, and growing crystals through liquids flowing and receding. Three slim strands ending in hematite gemstone attach to sterling silver chain that fastens easily with a graceful hook and eye clasp. The gemstones are strung on pure silk cord for flexibility and strength.

Cost: $155.00 USD

Length: necklace - 19"

Materials:

  • grandidierite gemstone faceted rounds
  • hematite tube beads
  • sterling silver beads and components

Care & cleaning: Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

The materials in this necklace are robust to most toddler tugs and pulls, but care should be taken to avoid sustained pulling as that can fray or distort the silk cord. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
