I am quite smitten with this piece. These two stones together put off an energy that is both strong and full of wonder (an invitation to run wild with one’s imagination). Tourmalinated Quartz is both a protector and a stone of sacred balance… knowing that the universe is always navigating toward equilibrium. Opals are, of course, the premier stone of creativity and flow. A wonderful duo, to be sure.
 
Ethically sourced Tourmalinated Quartz and Crystal Pipe Opal set in sterling silver with fine silver bezels. Hung from an 18” sterling chain.
 
All my pieces are individually handmade from natural stones and recycled metals. No two items are alike, and they will all have natural imperfections. These imperfections imbue the work with unique personality, grit, and story – the stuff of character. 
 
Stone jewelry shouldn’t be worn in water or exposed to chemicals (soaps, lotions, detergents). I like to think of stones as living things (on much different time scales than the ones we are accustomed to). To extend their lives, we need to limit their exposure water and other chemicals/liquids.
