This handcrafted necklace features a striking teardrop of Starfox variscite stone nestled in .925 sterling silver, adorned with delicate wire work and an intricate paisley pattern on the reverse. The pendant suspends gracefully from an 18-inch oxidized sterling silver foxtail chain, creating an elegant layering piece or standalone statement. Meticulously crafted in Joshua Tree, CA, this one-of-a-kind design celebrates the natural beauty of variscite while showcasing artisanal metalwork. The pendant measures 1 3/4" from bail to point and 1 1/4" at its widest, making it a perfectly proportioned accent for any collection.
Variscite is a relatively rare phosphate mineral known for its soothing green color, which can range from pale mint to deep forest green. It’s often compared to turquoise because of its similar formation process and visual appearance, but variscite gets its color from chromium rather than copper.
