Rare Madagascar "Ocean Wave Jasper" Pendant in Artisan Made Free Flow & Floating Sterling Silver Bezel, from Kabamby Shoreline, AfricaExceptional one of a kind gift idea!
Beautiful Ocean Wave Jasper with fossilized Crinoid frame on reverse was mined only four years, in a few mile stretch of Kabamby's shoreline, in Madagascar, Africa's northwest region. Cremelation cleavage texture resembles waves and ripples of water, showing microcrystalline and botryoidal ripples. The local's nickname for this ancient rock is Atlantis.
Liquid sterling silver was poured hot into mold before encompassing this pre-cut selection of Jasper, meaning Artisan was very skilled and had to work fast to create this custom bezel, especially since there is no back, and bezel is floating on outer edges only. Tight and secure, this permanent bezel allows wearer to chose between front and back, since back shows fossilized ocean life in natural framework of Crinoids.
Dimensions:
Pendant with bezel height: 2 1/8"
without bezel height: 1 15/16"
width at widest part: 1 1/8"
depth varies from 3/16" - 3/8"
Colors vary from the darkest dark blue gray green at top, to a lighter green where botryoidal bubbles show, then back to that remarkable dark blue gray green, with a touch of almost malachite-like green right around 7 o'clock. Microchrystalline shimmers throughout but is druzy like at top, especially on the top right.
Photographed wet in photos 1, 2 and 12; dry in photos 3-11.
