Septarian Nodules were formed as a ball of clay on the ocean floor nearly 55 million years ago and, over time, were filled in with a white to yellow calcite, giving the stone its unique dark background and white cracks, according to Michigan Mineralogical Society
I found this stone along the shore of Lake Michigan, added it to my collection of Michigan stones, then cut and polished it in my home studio in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
I then set it in a sterling silver setting with fine silver bezel and gave the back a wave pattern as a nod as to where it began it's journey. It's now ready to find it's special person.
Pendant measures 1-1/2"" x 7/8"
Included is your choice of either an 18" or 20" sterling silver chain with a sterling silver lobster clasp.
I added patina to the pendant as well as the chain for a rustic/antiqued look.
I added a hand-rubbed micro-crystalline wax to the pendant to slow the natural tarnishing of the silver but I will also include a jewelry polishing cloth for touch-ups.
All purchases come in a gift box with ribbon ready for gift-giving or as a gift for yourself!
Artisan crafted jewelry is created by hand, therefore no two items are identical. Each of The jewelry pieces that you see in my shop do not look machine made--they were crafted only by me with my hands and tools in my home studio.
