African Turquoise And Southwest Silver Necklace

A blue green necklace crafted from round natural beads, with stunning organic handmade sterling silver pendants. Finished with sterling silver ends.

This mid length necklace in beautiful shades of blue-green-brown has a southwest vibe that would team perfectly with shades of white, brown, grey and black, and perfectly with blue denim.

What is African turquoise? It's actually the trade name for a type of jasper that is mined only in Africa. 

The stone is green blue in colour and is rich with inclusions of crystal quartz, iron and copper deposits in a matrix of black and brown veins, making this stone a beautiful substitute for the much more expensive traditional turquoise.

Because of its inclusions, and with a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, African turquoise is a much harder stone than turquoise, which makes it perfect for jewellery of all types.

Measurements: Total length including clasp 61 cm, pendant 2.5 cm diameter
