Green magnesite recycled boho necklace

This piece has sold!  I will however make another upon request, but due to the unique nature of my work, it will be a variation of this.

This beautiful piece started with an aluminum can lid and green magnesite. The prongs are handmade from the same aluminum, it was annealed and has a rusted patina, rivited with copper, the stone was set, lines were etched and then rare vintage chains were added.
It includes brass, aluminum, green magnesite stone, an original twisted brass clasp. All rings are soldered to make this piece stronger and has been coated with tarnish protector.

The mineral magnesite (magnesium carbonate) has the same crystal structure as calcite (calcium carbonate). Some refer to it as "chalk turquoise" or "white turquoise," but magnesite is not related to turquoise. Magnesite is said to assist in creative visualization, help bring peace in meditation and stimulate passion. It is also believed to help strengthen the bones and teeth, and to help lessen the symptoms of PMS.

Twisted brass hook clasp.
Measures 18" long.
Pendant 3 1/2 x 2 1/2"
