{"product_id":"glacierite-wire-wrapped-natural-stone-pendant-necklace","title":"Glacierite Wire Wrapped Natural Stone Pendant Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eI wrapped a piece of natural glacierite stone with flat silver aluminum wire. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled curb chain. Each piece of glacierite is naturally unique and will differ slightly in pattern and color. It has dark inclusions of biotite mica schist. The stone also has geode crystals and is more shiny than the photos are able to show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlacierite is thought to be a highly effective protection stone with various defensive properties. It may protect against evil intentions and harmful negativity. It offers a barrier that surrounds you with light and energy to ward off adverse thoughts and vibrations. Glacierite can give you a sense of understanding and clarity in difficult situations. It is helpful in stressful settings and can bring a sense of calm and order to your everyday environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNakauriite is a rare mineral formation originally found at the Nakauri mine in Japan that was closed in the 1950s. It is usually associated with other minerals including cobalt, sulfur, nickel, malachite, copper, zinc, and manganese. It is also found in parts of the United States and Scotland. It was originally thought to be the same material known as glacierite that was found in Indonesia, but there is some question now as to the makeup of glacierite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Indonesian material glacierite appears to be an unintended artifact of the mining\/smelting industry, like cullet or slag glass. Other types used in jewelry making include Zincite, Fordite, Swedish Blue Glass, and Leland Blue. It is a porous ceramic material formed when glass and minerals are exposed to high heat, along with other naturally occurring trace elements found locally, such as cobalt, copper, and nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo me all rocks and crystals have certain energies, even glass. Glass is composed of the same elements as quartz crystals, and volcanic glass does occur naturally as well. Some people have the misconception that a man-made stone is less effective than a natural gemstone when used in a metaphysical sense. This isn't really true. Because lab grown or man-made gemstones are made up of the same chemical compounds as most natural occurring gemstones, there is little difference in their mineral properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the ISG:\u003cbr\u003e\"Creating gemstones in a lab is an art that must be learned and perfected using imagination and skill. Lab created gemstones are not imitations, they are newly created gemstones that are of the same make up as the mined gemstones. So by definition, gemstones created in a lab cannot be called synthetic because rather than imitate a gemstone...they ARE gemstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStones may have some imperfections and inclusions. Be sure to check all photos, including the zoom feature, for details about a particular stone. Please see photo with ruler for size. Colors may vary with individual monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany stones are susceptible to fading, and they should be kept out of direct sunlight. Do not use hot water or salt water to clean them. Stone properties and descriptions are for informational purposes only and do not offer any guaranteed outcomes.
