Angelite Necklace in Solid Silver with Textured Back

Angelite, also known as anhydrite is a naturally occurring stone in a very pretty light blue color. There's no other stone that looks like angelite in this shade of blue. It is a softer stone so care should be taken not to wear it in a way that it could be scratched but it's surprisingly strong. I've read that angelite if exposed to water can turn into gypsum due to a chemical reaction within the stone. I tested a small piece by letting it sit in a bowl of water for a couple days and didn't see much if any change however, just to be safe I recommend wiping it dry if it were to get wet and to not wear to swim or shower. This piece is shaped in a nice sized domed teardrop. I crafted the setting from solid sterling silver (.925). I used my hand forged and formed recycled silver to craft the back of the pendant which I also textured. The included 20 inch chain is also solid sterling silver. If you love the pendant but don't need a chain choose the "Pendant No Chain" option. The bail is opening is about 2.2 mm in diameter. The pendant measures about 29 x 17 in mm. 

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures. We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
