Washington rodingite pendant
« on: January 08, 2023, 07:55:51 PM »
56 mm long x 30 mm wide, 10 mm hole.  The white is grossular garnet and the rest of it is diopside.  The areas inside the black lines that are turning blue are chatoyant diopside.

What a BANGER!!!

Dude! This is such nice material and a great presentation. I'm partial to the oversized holes and it totally makes the material pop. Especially the demure black cord...

Mmmm mmhh!

I Really like that piece.  Very striking!  I made a sphere out of Roddingite not too long ago, acquired via E-Bay from a store called Poobah's Jade; any relation here?
