(SOLD) Datolite Pronged Pendant 057

This unusual Datolite pendant has beautiful veins and a soft buff color. It is set in oxidized sterling silver with a textured back piece and two smooth prongs.

Lake Superior Datolite

Datolite is found in the copper deposits of Lake Superior. Unlike most places it might be found the Datolite in the Lake Superior area is usually fine grained in texture and has some color banding. The coloration is due to the inclusion of copper or other minerals in progressive stages of hydrothermal precipitation.
