Embark on a journey of wisdom and beauty with American Gem Collection piece #249, “Spark of Sage''! This piece features a triangular chrysocolla, it weighs 75.84 carats. Chrysocolla can be found in any part of the world where a large copper deposit occurs, but our piece was found in the beautiful state of Arizona! This rare stone gets its dual color from absorbing the copper surrounding it as it forms, hence its turquoise-like hue. The vein of rust tones makes this stone look like a river rushing through an island of sand, sage, and beauty. Chrysocolla has been said to represent wisdom - in Ancient Egypt it was used by Cleopatra in negotiations! Encapsulating the chrysocolla is 14k yellow gold, the gold tone of the shimmering sun! To many Native American tribes, the gold is connected to their sun god. They say the god carries the sun across the sky every day to help their crops grow and bring prosperity. To compliment the beauty of the chrysocolla in this pendant, we added .31 carats of round diamonds around the edges of the stone to give it a little more shimmer and sparkle! The beauty of the desert is really at your fingertips with this piece, “Spark of Sage''!
