Tourmaline Rutilated Quartz .925 Silver Pendant with Cord

This pendant is listed as Tourmaline Rutilated Quartz .925 Silver Pendant with Cord (shop SKU WJTRQN44), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Rutilated quartz is quartz with needle-like inclusions of rutile, which may be golden, copper, or reddish. In crystal traditions, it is associated with energy and 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. It comes on a cord, as stated in the title. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
