Tourmalinated Quartz Chunky Crystal Gold Necklace

This necklace features a rough piece of white quartz, host to green tourmaline crystals. This unique stone measures 25mm x 25mm x 18mm and sits in a prong setting of raw brass. The pendant is suspended between two oval link chains with diamond cut faceting, which creates a lot of sparkle and shine. It's a gold vermeil chain (gold plating over sterling silver) with a length of 18" adjustable up to 20". The chain is finished with a gold filled extension chain and spring ring clasp and a bead of peridot. 

Quartz:
The “purest” of all quartzes, crystals are used more frequently today for healing and diagnosis than any other stone. In ancient times healers used them to render negative energy impotent and to diagnose the origin of disease. Because quartz transmits heat it is cool to touch and crystal was originally believed (by the Greeks) to have been ice that had lost its ability to melt.

Green Tourmaline:
Also known as Verdelite, green tourmaline brings a joy for life. It promotes an appreciation for the many wonders that life has to offer. It encourages patience and openess, as well as sincere interest in fellow human beings. It has a masculine energy and connects us to the plant kingdom. It also inspires creativity, attracts success, prosperity and abundance and it has been used for weight loss.
