This 20-inch necklace is a study in natural artistry: copper-rich Chrysocolla in a breathtaking dance of light blue, turquoise, and bright copper. I’ve enhanced its magic with unique beads of Kyanite, Larimar, Labradorite, black sunstone, London topaz and more Chrysocolla copper—all hand-strung on 14k gold-filled wire over sterling silver.
The Story of Bacan Stone
Deep in Maluku, a 3–4 hour voyage from Bacan Island to Kasiruta Island, lies a treasure hidden in volcanic earth. Here, the Bacan stone—Chrysocolla in chalcedony (Krisokola Kuarsa)—is born. Its signature greens, blues, and blackish tones come from transformation of copper porphyry.
Imagine this: Superheated water, rich with minerals, rises from deep within the Earth. As it cools, it weaves a stockwork—a random, fractured web of veins above an igneous intrusion. In these chaotic, beautiful ore deposits, Chrysocolla crystallizes, carrying the soul of copper with it.
