Old Stock Variscite Pendant

This old stock variscite features the unmistakable apple mint green tones that made this material so highly sought after by collectors and lapidaries. Variscite forms when phosphorus-rich waters interact with aluminum-bearing rocks, creating a dense, opaque gemstone prized for its smooth texture and vibrant, natural color. Much of the finest variscite was mined decades ago, making true old stock material increasingly difficult to source today.

Hand-set in solid 925 sterling silver, this pendant highlights the stone’s organic patterning and rich saturation.

Details:

• Genuine old stock variscite

• Classic green coloration with natural matrix

• Formed through aluminum-phosphate mineralization

• Handcrafted 925 sterling silver setting
  

Why collectors love variscite:
Often compared to turquoise for its color but distinct in composition, variscite has long been valued for its rarity and stability. Old stock pieces are especially prized, representing material that may never be mined again.
