Purpurite Polished Slab 2 Stone Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant

This pendant is listed as Purpurite Polished Slab 2 Stone Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SBPURPP198), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Purpurite is a manganese phosphate mineral with a purple to reddish-purple color that can look metallic or velvety when polished. It is a collector's stone and is relatively soft, so it is best handled gently. 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. Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece.

The title describes a claw (prong) setting that holds the stone. The title lists 2 stones in the design. The title describes a polished slab, a flat slice of stone. The title spells the finish 'Polished', which looks like a typo for 'Polished'.
