Hemimorphite Druzy Claw Set Beaded Band .925 Sterling Silver Ring Size 8 Adjustable

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this ring: Hemimorphite Druzy Claw Set Beaded Band .925 Sterling Silver Ring Size 8 Adjustable (shop SKU SBHEMIR148A).

Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate mineral, often pale blue to white, and it is sometimes sold as a druzy crust of tiny crystals. In crystal traditions, hemimorphite is associated with communication and empathy. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. The title describes it as adjustable. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth.

The ring size is 8, as stated in the title. The title describes a claw (prong) setting that holds the stone. The title describes a 'beaded band', which is likely a typo for a beaded band. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
