Solar Quartz & Herkimer Diamond – Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant

At the heart of this striking pendant sits a beautiful slice of Solar Quartz, displaying delicate concentric patterns in soft earthy shades of cream, beige and taupe. Subtle mineral inclusions and sparkling crystalline formations add depth and character to this fascinating stone.

The Solar Quartz is embraced by an elaborate, hand-sculpted copper wire setting. Layers of carefully woven and shaped wire create flowing curves, delicate spirals and richly textured details, giving the pendant a wonderfully organic, almost antique appearance.

A natural Herkimer Diamond adds a touch of sparkle above the main stone, while a small Zircon is incorporated into the intricately detailed bail.

Dark Hematite beads and antique brass-toned accents provide a beautiful contrast to the warm copper, completing this distinctive design.

The pendant is suspended from an adjustable black macramé cord, accented with coordinating gemstone beads.

Materials:

• Natural Solar Quartz
• Herkimer Diamond (double-terminated quartz crystal)
• Zircon accent in the bail
• Hematite beads
• Handcrafted copper wire setting
• Adjustable black macramé cord

Handmade with care and attention to detail, this is a truly unique piece of wearable art.

No two Solar Quartz slices are alike, making this pendant as individual as the person who wears it.

Solar Quartz is a natural agatized quartz that is sliced from stalactites in clear, white or gray, with mossy inclusions. As with all quartz it is an energy enhancer, connecting to spirit and harmony.

It is said to bring emotional strength and uplifting with great power and energy.

This crystal also has all the properties of clear quartz and is protective, purifying on spiritual, mental and physical levels, used to communicate with spirits and more. Solar Quartz is associated with the crown chakra, but also works well on all chakras.

Herkimer Quartz "Diamonds" are the high energy seekers of the crystal world. Unusually transparent with a brilliant sparkle, they manifest pure, solid Light and are powerful amplifiers of spiritual energy. As perfect conduits of the universal Life Force, they are exceptional healing crystals, and are used in meditations, dream and vision work, and advanced spiritualization applications.

 Herkimer Diamonds are the most powerful of all Quartz crystals. Being doubly terminated, they have the ability to not only transmit their own energies, but to receive spiritual energy and to amplify and focus it intently. They are reported to be harder than all other Quartz, giving them the strength and durability to handle difficult challenges beyond the scope of other Quartz crystals. What they lack in physical size, they more than make up for in spirit energy.

 This mineral owes its name to Herkimer County, New York, USA, the principal place where it is found. The small, double-terminated crystals are short and stubby, formed in a hard rock matrix giving them their strength. They may be exceptionally clear and colorless, or contain rainbow inclusions, air bubbles, or black carbon deposits. A small percentage of these crystals contain enhydro inclusions of water. Some are smoky rather than clear, and similar-looking crystals have been found at other sites, but generally do not have the same hardness or high gloss of genuine Herkimer Diamonds.
