Thulite Pendant
$150.00
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 lovely pastel pink colour framed by a network of greyish lines, probably felspar. The thulite shows rare crystalisation particularly evident in the darker pink areas showing sprays of crystals!
This piece is 5.6cm x 4.2cm.
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!
