Druzy Quartz Pendant
CustomMade by Paul Bensel
I'm showing here a one of a kind black and grey, druzy quartz pendant.This piece features a druzy quartz cab measuring 30 x 11 mm by 7 mm thick.This cab is covered with swirls of fine black and grey quartz crystals, with a row of flat crystals going across top center, I wish these showed better in … the photos! These are covering a slab of manganese base Psilamelane, the result is a shinny silver material under the crystals.'Gem quality' material is only coming from one place, the Black Diamond mine in New Mexico, I went crazy 15 years ago and purchased all I could of this fine material, very difficult to get natural black druzy quartz. I carve and design about 6 pieces a year, I hope to someday retire and cut more of these pieces. Out of all the things I make this is my favorite thing to work with because the rough material tells me how to carve the stone and the stone tells me how to design a mounting, so every piece is different, I have accented this piece with a round brilliant cut diamond weighing .28 Cts.The diamond is a VS-2 clarity, and a H color, its a pretty stone.This piece weighs 10.6 grams, 1/2 of that being stone and the rest being 14karat yellow gold.I am hanging this on a 18'' black silk cord, but it could easily be hung on a chain, If the bailing needs to be adjusted or changed there would probably be no charge. Thanks for looking please feel free to ask any questions, Paul
