Variscite Pendant with Blessing Feather

This beautiful pendant uses a been made with a piece of Lucky Lady Variscite as its centerpiece. At the bottom of the variscite is a handmade Blessing Feather. Each feather is hand stamped and hand cut, making each one unique. Designed to look like eagle feathers, the feather has a special meaning to the Native people of North America, one of healing and purifying. To have an eagle feather is a great honor. Variscite is sometimes used as a semi-precious stone, and is popular for carvings and ornamental use due to its beautiful and intense green color, and is commonly used in silversmithing in place of turquoise. This variscite was purchased directly from the Lucky Lady Mine in Tonopah, NV. Made with care and the highest quality materials in my home studio where I have been making jewelry for over fifty years. Each piece of jewelry is hand made and one of kind, so like any piece of art, please allow for slight variation between sizes. I hand stamp my hallmark Jack Rabbit and sign the back of each pendant with my name, the name of the Paiute Tribe, and the word "handmade".
