Cedar Cross Necklace with Green and Sunrise Variscite Stone
Cedar Cross Necklace with Green and Sunrise Variscite Stone
A beautiful sunrise variscite stone in green and brown hues sits above a cedar square cross. The cross in Osage design represents the four winds. Cedar is one of my ancestor's sacred plants. It represents a long life.

I created the cedar cross in fine silver (99.9% pure silver). All other silver portions are sterling silver (92.5% silver). Stone is a sunrise variscite. Variscite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate mineral. It is a relatively rare phosphate mineral. It is often confused with turquoise.

Care information
Care information
Your order will come with a polishing cloth to touch up your jewelry pieces. I oxidize (tarnish) and polish the highlights of most of my jewelry pieces to bring out the texture of the prairie grasses and wildflowers. This oxidation will come off if polished with the cloth. When polishing pieces, polish only the raised surfaces to keep the dark oxidation.
With the variscite, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and heat steamers. Heat can damage the stone. Do not let sit out in the sun.
My Guarantee:
Each piece is made with care. If for any reason a purchase is not what you expected, please contact me for directions on a return. I do think you'll be pleased though.
