Marcasite Herkimer Diamond Necklace

This necklace features an oval cut cabochon of the mineral marcasite. Marcasite is a mineral with a hardness of 6 to 6.5 and is chemically identical to pyrite, which is why it is sometimes referred to as “white iron pyrite”. This cut stone reveals abstract splashes of its metallic shine. It's wrapped with a sterling silver wire that has been oxidized to bring out its rope like texture. It's accented with a Herkimer diamond crystal. The pendant measures 32mm in width and 30mm in length, which includes the silver bail. It slides around an oxidized, sterling silver, foxtail chain with a length of 18". 

Metaphysically, Marcasite is known to help one recognize patterns, set boundaries, and take action in life. Its element is storm, and its chakras are the three lowest ones, working to ground you and encourage creativity and will power. Marcasite harmonizes with pyrite, malachite, scolecite, and hematite.
