Quartz .925 Silver Pendant

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pendant: Quartz .925 Silver Pendant (shop SKU WJCQPP24).

Quartz is crystalline silica, a hard, durable mineral found in many colors and habits. In crystal traditions, quartz is often associated with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

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. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
