  • 4400


Apache Tear Pendant Wire Wrapped in .925 Sterling Silver Round Wire

This beautiful stone, originated from a volcanic eruption, is of a relatively consistent translucent light smoky grey-brown color, yet still appears black in reflected light, against most backgrounds. It wears well with almost any color of clothing, as it compliments either grey or brown based color tones. An exception might be black, since this stone will appear black on black. Consistent color and near flawless appearance make this stone quite suitable for the purist. The sleek curved free form shape also gives appeal from an artistic viewpoint.

Unique Features: Soft appearance, light translucent coloration.

Treatment: None; natural volcanic glass stone, smoothed and polished only.

Comment: Apache Tears form as molten volcanic glass is rapidly ejected from volcanic eruptions and rain down to the ground in droplets. Smoothing and polishing, as this stone is,  reveals the inner beauty of Apache Tears, resulting in a variety of colors of beautiful and attractive appearances including translucent smoky gray brown, soft shiny opaque black, red-brown, mahogany (mixed patchy brown and black), charcoal gray, striped black and gray, etc.; however, the outer fusion crust is necessarily removed during the polishing process. A unique, handmade, genuine semi-precious stone pendant, this piece is posted individually, not merely a representative item - what you see is what you get.
