One of my favorites, Labradorite and Sterling Silver Spiral Pendant
Labradorite is a stone of mystery and desires, it's flash will captivate you and pull you into it's depths. Originally found in the Canadian province of Labrador, other deposits have been found in Finland and Madagascar. Also referred to as the "Black Moonstone" and finds it self at home in the same mineral family (plagoclase feldspar) as the Rainbow Moonstone and the Oregon Sunstone.
First, I hand-selected this beautiful stone, then took sterling silver wire and carefully formed a nice sized bail (good for chains or small ribbons) letitng the wire flow into a spiral, then hammering the spiral to harden it and give it an old-world texture. I then finished it with a light polishing.
