Dark Green Tourmaline Necklace with Corallite Clasp

Design Series: Deep Ocean Availability: One of a Kind This striking necklace features rare chatoyant green tourmaline from Brazil. The "Cat's Eye" effect is an optical phenomenon in which light is reflected off parallel needle-like inclusions of microscopic tubes or crystals of another mineral inside the gemstone. These inclusions interfere with the passage of light throughout the crystal, scattering and reflecting light back to the viewer as thin lines. The necklace is hand-knotted and finished with the Corallite Clasp from the Deep Ocean Design Series. Inspired by a corallite, the skeletal cup of a stony coral polyp, the clasp echoes reef architecture in miniature. Hand-carved and cast, these beautiful organic structures have radiating vertical walls with grooves that invite verdigris to settle and deepen over time.
