Sea Rose with Prehnite and Amethyst

The pendant -- a wonderfully colorful combination of prehnite and amethyst with a ffanciful carved amazonite rose -- dictated who she wanted to live with. Amethyst would have been too dark; amazonite that color is hard to find in a bead. So prehnite it was. I love the prehnite stone because some of them have tiny rutiles in them, as these do. The faceting gives them even more texture. Instead of anchoring the pendant from two larger silver beads, I suspended it from a row of smaller sterling rounds, so there is easy movement.
