Serpentine Cabachon Earrings in Modern Triangular Sterling Silver Setting
by Marie Jackson
Serpentine is not a single mineral, but rather a group of related minerals. Besides for the main members of Antigorite and Chrysotile, a distinction is not usually made between the individual members except under scientific study and classification. Antigorite usually represents the more solid forms, like the ones used in jewelry like these earrings.
Cabachon length: 1", Overall: 1 1/8"
