I found this raw crystal at an estate sale, sold as tanzanite. A local rock hound says tanzanite too, but an unusual one, and I agree. This isn't the blue-violet stuff you see in jewelry store cases. It's deep violet up top and fades into a glassy olive green at the point, with fine striations running down its length. Indoors it goes dark and moody. Take it out in the sun and it wakes up with rainbow flashes from deep inside the stone. It's a shapeshifter.

I set it in an electroformed copper ring with a dark patina and added two rainbow moonstones at the bottom to catch the light. It hangs from copper jump rings on a copper snake chain with a lobster clasp.

  • Stone: raw bi-color tanzanite (sold as tanzanite and identified by a local rock hound; not lab tested)
  • Accents: two rainbow moonstone cabochons
  • Metal: electroformed copper, dark patina, sealed
  • Pendant: about 1¼" tall
  • Chain: 22" copper snake chain, lobster clasp
  • One of a kind

Raw crystals have natural fracture lines, so don't bang it around. Keep it away from water and harsh chemicals and wipe it with a soft cloth. The patina is sealed but will shift over time; that's part of the charm.
