This 24" Necklace is composed of Chysocolla, a gemstone often confused with turquoise. These particular beads are Eliat Stone which is a variegated blue and green mixture of chrysocolla found in the Gulf of Aqaba, at the northwestern corner of the Red Sea. The center focal bead - a large solid .925 Sterling shell, sterling silver accents and a gorgeous sterling lobster swivel clasp. Chrysocolla offers gentle soothing qualities associated with tranquility, peace, intuition, patience and unconditional love.
