Helenite is a lab-grown crystal using the Silica in the volcanic ash from Mt. Saint Helens in the State of Washington. This is accomplished by fusing the ash at 2700 degrees. The color is amazingly similar to that of Emeralds, and as such they become a very affordable alternative to that natural gemstone. Robert has been faceting these crystals over time into various shapes and sizes, including this 12x9mm pear-shaped gemstone, weighing 3 carats. He set it in a Sterling Silver Pendant along with a 3mm round Colorado White Topaz accent gem.
 
For this Pendant, we recommend an 18” or 20” Light Rope Sterling Silver Chain, #1120.
 
We'll be shipping this item in a very attractive Gift box and include a matching tote bag and crinkled paper. You'll be ready to present this gift in only a few minutes. All buttoned up, pretty, and sophisticated.
