Description: Up for your consideration is a brilliant Ammolite pendant, handmade with sterling silver. I try to fashion all my jewelry to highlight what's most important " The Gemstone". This is how I've always created my jewelry, and now this style is becoming popular and is known as Minimalist Art. This pendant features a large 30mm x21mm (12mm=1/2") - 31 carat, free form Ammolite gem. I always list carat weight of the Ammolite I use, because people always want to know " how many carats"? The truth, with Ammolite, is that carat weight is not important. Rather, the surface area of the gem stone (mm x mm) is what matters. The thickness of most Ammolite varies between 2-6 mm, and it is the thickness ( not really important) that is indicated by the carat weight. I always give the actual size of the stone for every piece of jewelry I create. The seller of this gem did not list its grade , but I would say it is an "AA" grade stone. I try to take all photos using bright sunlight (the most natural light that there is) because that's how I feel Ammolite looks it's best. Lines that you see in the stone are not cracks, but rather are natural inclusions often found in Ammolite gems. Pyrite (thin gold veins) and Limonite (thicker black lines) are commonly seen in Ammolite. The surface of this stone is smooth and flat. These photos were mainly taken outside in sunlight. This Ammolite displays orange, florescent green shades, turquoise and royal blue, all depending on how the light hits the stones surface. The overall size of the pendant is 2" high by 1" wide. The natural Ammolite in this piece of jewelry came from Alberta, Canada. It was cut and finished by lapidary experts who take great pride in the work they do......working with Ammolite. This stone is hand polished and none of their natural Ammolites are ever coated. This Ammolite is set in Sterling silver and comes with a free 18" hypoallergenic stainless steel chain as shown.Good quality Ammolite is difficult to find these days. If you can find a nice piece, expect to pay at least hundreds of dollars for it. Fortunately, I still have high grade Ammolite that I have purchased over the last 30 years. I will continue to make Ammolite jewelry until my collection of gem stones is gone or until my hands are no longer physically able to do the work. CUSTOM, ONE OF A KIND, HANDMADE (by myself) in the U.S.A. With all of the Ammolite jewelry being offered on ebay, why should I want to own yours? I believe there are people out there looking for high quality, affordable Ammolite jewelry...that's what I aim to provide. Every piece of Ammolite is unique; therefore by definition, each piece of Ammolite jewelry can be called one of a kind. In reality, one of a kind means there is nothing else like it – period. Each piece of jewelry that I make is created by my own hands. I will spend 3 to 4 hours on each custom designed piece. Mine are not manufactured findings, sold by a jewelry supplier to someone so a stone could be glued in place and have instant jewelry. If that is what you want, why pay someone else? Save yourself some money and make your own! Every piece of unique jewelry that I create is made of solid sterling silver and solid 14K yellow gold. A free chain may be included with each pendant. Please keep in mind that Ammolite is a non-renewable resource, which I have read and been told will be mined out in the next 20 years or less---I was given this information about 20 years ago. As more people learn about Ammolite and it becomes scarcer, the prices will skyrocket, and I believe that uncoated naturals will become the most valued. To sum things up; if you want a quality-handmade, totally unique, truly one-of- a- kind piece of Ammolite jewelry, made with valuable Ammolite naturals-- you need look no further……Please check my feedback and see what my customers have stated for years! Followers of Feng Shui believe that Ammolite promotes the flow of Qi throughout the body, enhancing well being. Some Feng Shui Masters call Ammolite the "Seven Color Prosperity stone" while Feng Shui Master, Edward Kui Ming Li, has referred to Ammolite as " The most influential stone of the millennium". **** For detailed information, with everything you might want to know about Ammolite, I suggest the Gem Society web page. ***Thank you for viewing my auction item.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS Hello - I want you to know I wore this on a recent 12-day trip to the Caribbean, and everyone (literally a hundred individuals) wanted to know which store sold this quality and size of ammolite! One crew member said he couldn't take his eyes off it (no, he wasn't referring to me). I told everyone to go to your site on eBay, and some wrote down the info.
