The Gulf of Mexico on a crystalline sunny morning -- blue green heaven.  This azurite chrysocolla pendant is wrapped in sterling silver and hung from a necklace studded with shimmery green and blue kyanite beads. Sterling toggle clasp.  16.5 inches, clasp to clasp, extendable another inch.

Sometimes known as Picasso stones, for obvious reasons, beads like this are cut to frame an artist's vision.  The artist in this case is Chinese, and his unerring eye captures drama, nature, color and beauty.  Tiny works of art to wear close to your heart.
