Chrysocolla-Malachite and Sterling Silver Thunderbird Pendant with 5 Strands of Turquoise Rondelles, Czech Nailheads, Fire Polished Glass, Sterling Silver Rondelles, and Sterling Cones & Toggle Clasp

This outstanding Necklace showcases a Chrysocolla-Malachite and Sterling Silver Thunderbird Pendant by Nevada Silversmith Jim Daggett. Chrysocolla-Malachite is a beautiful combination of Chrysocolla, a copper silicate, and Malachite, a copper carbonate, and both are gemstone quality stones. Our stone is from Arizona; it displays a swirling pattern of blue, green and golden brown. It is set on 2 plates of Sterling Silver, with the lower plate oxidized and the upper plate crafted to form the Thunderbird's head, wings and tail feathers. The oxidation brings the patterns into high relief. The Thunderbird is polished to a glossy luster, contrasting beautifully with the patterned stone. The piece drapes from a Sterling Silver Ring Bail, and is etched on the back with the artist's name and "925" (925 Sterling Silver). This is a beautiful and meticulously crafted piece. We've matched the Thunderbird Pendant with 5 strands of Turquoise Rondelles. The 4mm Rondelles are subtly rounded on all edge
