Thulite Pendant

$100.00

I have been lucky over my collecting years to find a lot of Thulite, all of which comes from the top of the south Is.

This pendant has a pastel pink colour with some light green in it. The white here I think is Albite which often associates with Thulite and gives that slight translucency. The black being due to Manganese oxide.

This piece is 6.4cm x 2.6cm.

 

The cord has sliding knots so is adjustable.

Description

I figured it was about time I put some Thulite pendants on the website! I have been selling them in Takaka up till now.

What is Thulite you may well ask. Thulite is a manganese rich variety of zoisite which gives it the pink colour. It forms in ultramafic conditions with the likes of serpentine and nephrite jade.

I have been lucky over my collecting years to find a lot of it, all of which comes from the top of the south Is. Considering the rarity of it I think that is a bit of an achievement on my part!
