Patterned Wyoming Jade Leaf Necklace

Description

This piece of Wyoming sourced jade is a light sage green with dark olive and white patterning and I cut it into a leaf shape. I cut and polished it to be flat so that you can admire both sides. Then I drilled a tiny hole and made a small silver rivet to attach a handmade hammered necklace attachment. It hangs on a 18″ silver cable chain and the stone is approximately 1 1/2″ x 5/8″.

Nephrite jade is found in the center of Wyoming and is the official state gemstone, the Wyoming variety is mostly green and often has mineral inclusions that create dots and other patterns in different greens, whites, and grey.
