Azurite & Sterling Silver Twist Pendant
 
80mm x 40mm
 
This glorious pendant contains a beautiful teardrop-shaped Azurite which has been enhanced by a detailed Sterling silver setting.  There are strands of silver running down one side, and the detail continues onto the bale showcasing remarkable skill by the silversmith.
 
Azurite is a rare, soft copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits.  It has a unique azure blue colour and is compared to the deep blue evening skies often seen above deserts and winter landscapes.
