A Dumortierite Necklace in a unique collar design showing a variety of the natural stunning colorations of this beautiful stone. Miriam thought the colorations of each stone seemed to be dancing in a romantic waltz. She chose stones in the full range of dark navy blue to lighter blues, bluish-green, and some with a touch of rare violet. Photographs were taken in the bright 101-degree Arizona sunlight to show the gorgeous colorations of these natural stones. Even the Sterling Silver Clasp is formed into a romantic gentle swirl. This one-of-kind necklace is for all seasons and any occasion.
Dumortierite also occurs with areas of brown, pale orange, pink, and green. Often confused with Lapis Lazuli, Dumortierite also looks similar to Sodalite. The differences are that natural Lapis has streaks of Golden Pyrite, and Sodalite exhibits small-to-large areas of White Calcite. Most gem-quality material is found in Nevada (USA). Other localities include Australia, France, Madagascar, Mozambique, Norway, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Canada, Poland, Namibia and Italy. First described in 1881, the mineral was named for French paleontologist Eugene Durmortier (1803-1873).
- Full length of the necklace, including the clasp is 19 inches.
- 10 Rectangular stones are puffed and measure 15x30mm and 6mm deep.
- 3 Rectangular puffed stones are 15x20mm and 6mm deep.
- 10 Square stones are 15mm and 6mm deep.
- 10 Rondelles are 6mm.
- The faceted seed beads and round brushed spacers are all three millimeter Sterling Silver.
- Matching Earrings and Bracelets are available by special order—but only to accompany the necklace. Email Miriam for information.
