A Picture Jasper Says A Thousand Words Pendant

Do you feel the Viking spirit of this Sterling silver pendant necklace? I cut the stone to capture the landscape pattern and sandy earth tones of this beautiful Picture Jasper from the American Mid-West. It hangs from an 18"Sterling Silver chain. This pendant is a good example of how there are similar styles across ancient cultures because this could be interpreted as Viking, Celtic or Native American design style.

This stone was a dream to cut and polish. I wanted to include as many if the beautiful colour bands as possible and the long marquise cut allowed me to feature the colour and pattern and polish it to a high shine. This Picture Jasper came from Oregon where you can find blue Picture Jasper.
