An earthy green turquoise with brown and golden matrix, is set in a sterling silver pendant with 18k gold accents. These gold accents coordinate perfectly with the golden flecks in the stone. The pendant measures 1 1/8-inches, (28 mm), from the top of the 18k gold bail to the bottom of the 18k gold disc below the turquoise. It hangs from an 18-inch, oxidized sterling rolo chain.

***Turquoise was one of the first gems to be mined. It gets its blue color from a combination of copper and aluminum, but the green is formed when there is a high concentration of iron. Associated with the throat chakra, turquoise is thought to aid in communication of the truth. It has long been considered a protective stone by many different cultures. It is one of the birthstones for December.***
