Beautiful and highly polished tumbled chrysocolla pendant with sterling silver leaves (925), protected with anti-tarnish.
The name chrysocolla comes from the Greek “crysos”, gold and “kolla”, glue, referring to the material used to weld gold. While similar to turquoise, the cyan-blue chrysocolla is a different type of copper mineral. It regularly occurs mixed with other minerals like malachite (green), tenorite (black), limonite (yellowish) or cuprite (reddish-brown) which leads to fascinating color combinations.
Superior quality… distinctive throughout Peru for its purity and brightness, our silver is 100% free of cadmium and nickel (toxic and harmful to health). The leaves are made of sterling silver (925). They have been protected against tarnish by humidity with an electrolytic bath in fine-silver and anti-tarnish.
Our minerals are hand-carved one by one and polished to the highest possible shine with our scratch-free guarantee.
