Speckled Gemstone Pendant, Silver Plated

A necklace to start conversations with, featuring the enigma that is known as K2 jasper - even though its not really as jasper at all! I chose it because of those gorgeous blue ink spot stains reminding me of rain splashed rocks, and amazingly this gemstone is also sometimes known as raindrop azurite. Found only in a remote part of Pakistan, it is widely believed to be a granite with flecks of the mineral azurite. For me it seems to sum up the Isle of Skye - with its granite hills and rain! I gave it a wire hug with silver plated wire and added some silver swirls to refer the design back to water.
