Reduced from 540 - Memories Past - Geode Druzy Necklace

Description

I have always been fascinated with geodes. A geode is a sphere shaped rock which contains a hollow cavity lined with crystals (druzy). Geodes begin as bubbles in volcanic rock or as animal burrows, tree roots or mud balls in sedimentary rock. Over time, the outer shell of the spherical shape hardens and water containing silica precipitation forms on the inside walls of the hollow cavity within the geode. Over a period of thousands of years, layers of silica cool, forming crystals of different minerals within the cavity.

This piece reminds me of one of my fondest memories. I was about 10 and went to Richardson's Rock Ranch which is in Madras, Oregon. I was so excited to dig up my own thundereggs and eagerly filled up a 5 pound bucket which must have weighed at least 50 pounds. The best part was when you got to slice them in half, you never knew what kind of beautiful treasure you would find until they were cut open. I can't wait to take my own son there and relive that special day.

Adjustable length of 24-25 inches long. Made with beautiful, natural geode agate druzy slices. The geodes range from white to grey. Some of the grey ones have a slight light blue tinge to them. In between the slices are the most incredible sterling silver beads. They have a matte finish and are embossed on both sides. Expensive little buggers but so worth it. Bali Clasp. All metals are sterling silver. Can be made longer or shorter by request at no extra charge. Only two will be made and only one will be available for sale (I'm keeping one!).

This is a heavy, bold piece. The geodes are a whopping 30-40mm (25mm = 1 inch).

This will be made to order so except some slight variations as these stones are unique and definitely one of a kind. I promise yours will be just as exquisite as the one pictured.
