Handcrafted pendant made from a real Amethyst crystal geode, smoothed and the outer edge wrapped in shiny gold leaf. These natural crystal points are much more vibrant purple than the pics show and they sparkle so beautifully! Definitely a statement piece! This is a little bigger and heavier piece so I'd recommend a sturdy chain or cord for it. In one of the photos, you can see that there is a translucence from the back - light coming through the natural stone. Gorgeous!
