.75" W x .625" H x .375" D

A truly unique Courtney piece as a pure gold study in contrasts.

This pendant has two bails on the back, and looks best with a neck ring, as a chain may appear awkward in the spaces between the stones.

BERYL: Heliodor is a golden yellow stone that was first discovered at Rossing, Erongo, Western Namibia in 1910. Heliodor is a form of Beryl, and is actually the most brilliant form of all the beryls. Because of the stone’s unusually vibrant yellow color, it was given the name "heliodor," from the Greek words helios and doron, meaning, gift from the sun.

IOLITE: Iolite is a magnesium aluminium silicate and appears as grey, pale to dark blue, violet and colorless crystals. Iolite exhibits dichroism (an ability to change colour when viewed from different angles). It can show as three different color shades in the same stone. The major sources of the gemstone come from Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar and Myanmar.
In ancient times, this stone was called Viking's Compass as they used it for navigational purposes, because it could indicate the direction of the sun on overcast days.
