Laser Quartz Point Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pendant: Laser Quartz Point Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant (shop SKU MBSQ49).

Laser quartz is a trade name for slender, elongated natural quartz points, often with a sharp termination. Diamantina, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a well-known source of fine quartz points.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. The title describes it as wire wrapped, with the stone held in wrapped wire rather than drilled or set. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
