Real Turquoise Pendant – Silver

This is a large Turquoise pendant in silver but it is not heavy. It is wide and high but thin. I believe it to be completely natural despite the unusual patterning, so it matches those crystals from the Chinese mines. It is not coloured or a howlite knock-off. It is a lovely mid blue which stand out well against the black. The photos on some computers make it a little bleached in the sunshine.

This crystal helps you to be mindful of the present moment and to live in the moment. It is said that it neutralizes over acidity, benefits rheumatism, gout, stomach problems, and viral infections.

15/1/23 – I just watched a geologist video confirming the crystal is REAL turquoise from Hubei in China. It has not been altered in anyway. That is, it is not coloured nor a composite. However, all turquoise is stabilized as it is porous, and the process helps the crystal last longer by stopping it absorbing perfumes and oils from your skin.

Here is a video to watch to help you enjoy this organically shaped turquoise pendant in silver. I have given a little discount to help it find its friend.
