Detailed Description
|
If you love minerals, you'll appreciate the rarity and beauty of
these unusual Brazilian watermelon tourmaline mini-geodes.* I've never
seen anything like them! These limited edition earrings feature a tiny geode cave
holding a ruby treasure suspended from two ropes of ruby rondels or
from 14K chains with a ruby highlight and 18K earwires. Choose the
style you like best -- only 4 pairs
available!
*Geodes are sphere shaped hollow rocks lined with gemstone crystals.
They are a rare phenomenon with many theories about how they are formed. It is thought
they begin as bubbles in volcanic rock or as animal burrows, tree roots
or mud balls in sedimentary rock. Over thousands of years, the outer
shell hardens, and silica water containing dissolved minerals forms on
the inside walls. Each geode is unique in composition and can only be
truly discovered when cracked open or cut with a rock saw. The size and
formation of crystals and different shades of color within the crystals
make each geode special. The rough exterior of the geode gives no
indication of the secrets held within its core.
