Pyromorphite Druzy Necklace

This necklace features a rare and unique specimen of pyromorphite. One of my favorite crystals and favorite names, this lime green stone is a phosphate mineral and a minor ore of lead, part of the apatite family. Its crystal structure are barrel like, hexagonal in shape. I picked up a few of these almost 10 years ago. Since then the value and price of these rare beauties have gone up a lot and they aren't easy to find. This druzy specimen measures 1/2" in width and 1" in length. It slides around a sterling silver, wheat chain with a length of 18".

History and Metaphysical Properties:

Pyromorphite gets its unique name from the Greek words meaning fire (pyr) and form (morfe). This mineral varied so greatly in appearance, that it was actually “discovered” multiple times with multiple different names before scientists realized they were all one mineral. Metaphysically, Pyromorphite aids the heart and solar plexus chakras, making it a great tool for quitting bad habits, promoting confidence, and enhancing one’s “gut feeling”. It’s believed to aid digestion and detoxification.
