Zeolite with a difference!
Natrolite is a common mineral from the zeolite group. Under normal circumstances, Natrolites form white or light gray crystal clusters. In the south of Java (Indonesia), lava fissures were filled with iron-rich Natrolite millions of years ago. This is how the extremely rare pink-colored, compact Natrolite, from which the cabochon for this pendant was created, was formed.
Examination at the Gemstone Testing Institute (EPI) revealed that the material consists of around 90% Natrolite and around 10% Thomsonite, another zeolite. The name pink Larimar found in the trade is misleading and mineralogically incorrect.
The setting and eyelet of the drop pendant are made of rhodium-plated 925 silver.
Size of the cabochon 35 x 20mm, size of the pendant 4.8 x 2.1cm. Inner diameter of the eyelet 4mm.
Stone weight Natrolite 22.50 ct, silver weight 5.4 g.
