Garnet, Howlite and Abdollah- Giw Turquoise Necklace, Unique, Rare Necklace

A very unique precious gemstone (garnets) and semi precious gemstones, (howlite and chrysocolla) necklace. Chrysocolla is also known as a Phoenix Stone and Abdollah- Giw Turquoise. Although used since antiquity as a minor gemstone and smelting flux, chrysocolla has long been confused with such other oxidized copper minerals as azurite, malachite, and turquoise. It was recognized as a distinct mineral species in 1808. Pure chrysocolla is a soft, fragile material with a bright, intense, sky-blue color that only rarely occurs in thicknesses sufficient for gemstone use. Most chrysocolla used in jewelry consists of chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) or opal that is heavily included with microscopic particles of chrysocolla. Known as “gem silica,” this material has a bright, blue-green color, sufficient hardness to take a fine polish, and durability that suits it for gemstone use. Nicely colored, gem quality, rough chrysocolla can cost as much as $100 per ounce. Many believe that chrysocolla is a stone of communication, calmness, and peace that aids in verbal and telepathic expression, facilitates the emergence of truth and wisdom, discharges negative energies, and enhances feminine energies.
