Yooper Stone Necklace in Solid Silver Ultra Rare Black Color

If you like Lake Superior Yooper stones/Lake Superior sodalite this is a very rare version of those. It was found on the south shore of Lake Superior on private land. Where the typical yoopers stones are sodalite in syenite this is something different. The host stone is jet black from any distance but if you look up close you'll see little areas of green. I'm unsure what the mineral is that it's in but it reminds me of serpentine. When you hit this stone with a black light it shines like night sky. I think the black host mineral really makes the glow stand out. I cut this stone in a domed teardrop. It measures about 28 x 16 in mm. The stone is about 20 mm tall. The chain is 20 inches in length and solid sterling silver. I made the  back of the setting using my hand forged and formed recycled sterling silver. I chose a fine silver bezel to hold the stone. The stone is pictured under 365nm UV light. This is the only one of this color/type of yooper that I've seen though I was told others have been found.  

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.
