Tangerine Aura Quartz Cluster Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant

Tangerine Aura Quartz Cluster Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SBTAAQP108) is a pendant on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Aura, or aura-coated, quartz is natural quartz with a thin metal-vapor coating that creates an iridescent surface. The coating is decorative; any meaning people give it belongs to personal practice. 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. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
