Psilomelane and Platinum Quartz Pin or Pendant in Sterling

2.25" W x 1.25" L x  .5" D

Psilomelane is a rare black manganese oxide prized by collectors for its deep color and distinctive botryoidal formations. Historically sourced from Mexico's Crown of Silver mine, gem-quality material remains scarce. This sterling silver pendant-brooch showcases the stone's natural beauty in a versatile combination of Pin and Pendant.

Platinum Quartz features delicate brookite and rutile inclusions that resemble metallic insects suspended within clear quartz—earning the poetic Brazilian name "dragonflies in quartz." Despite its name, the stone contains no actual platinum; the silvery appearance comes from the mineral inclusions themselves. This sterling silver pendant-brooch captures the stone's ethereal, nature-inspired beauty.
