This was a very interesting pendant and a difficult one to work with. It came to me at a gem show. I don't know why I bought it but there was something mysterious about it. The photo really doesn't so it justice. But it starts out looking like black onyx and I'm sure it's some kind of agate or man-made facsimile of same. But if you look really closely, you'll see the inherent and mysterious sparkle that veers toward purple. When I finally found the perfect match, they were an odd shade of Swarovski crystal bought on eBay. I used accent beads that had the same iridescence as the pendant and came up with a piece that is Goth to the core. Morticia would flip for it.
