Stunning Mary Ellen Jasper Necklace in Sterling Silver

This is a stunning Mary Ellen jasper necklace in solid sterling silver. Mary Ellen is a fossil form of Lake Superior jasper. It's found in a fairly large range from the beaches of northern MN through upper Wisconsin and over to the western edge of the UP of Michigan. Mary Ellen looks different than jaspelite due to fossil formations that left unique patterns within the stone. This stone is a beautiful deep red and shiny gunmetal gray with nice swirl patterns running across it. I crafted the setting with solid sterling silver adding textured elements to the bail, front outside edge and back of the pendant. The silver is lightly antiqued (intentionally darkened) to bring out the patterns in the silver. The pictured chain is also solid 925 sterling silver and is 20 inches in length. If you love the pendant but don't need a chain you can choose the "Pendant No Chain" option to receive just the pendant. Including the bail it measures about 34 x 20 in mm or about 1.3 inches tall.  You also have the option to choose a black leather or rubber cord (20 inch length) with stainless steel components. I really like the look of this pendant on the black cord. It will ship in a jewelry box ready for gifting. The pictured necklace holder is not included. There is only one pendant available so please only purchase one option!

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.
