This pendant is made of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and hand-wrapped in 13 gauge sterling silver wire.

Turquoise is a blue-green stone with a brown and black matrix made mainly from copper deposits. The exact discovery date is uncertain, but it has captivated people for centuries, with carved pieces in burial and archaeological sites worldwide. A stone of communication and enthusiasm, turquoise is one of December's official birthstones - and often reveals artistic talent. The unique copper matrix gives it energy and is considered a healing talisman. Turquoise balances the throat chakra, increases communication and resistance to viruses, and eases sore throats and allergies.
