Formation
Amphibole is a group of inosilicate minerals commonly found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Its color variety comes from chemical composition, which often includes elements such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum. Amphibole crystals typically form under high-pressure conditions during the metamorphism of sedimentary or volcanic rocks. For these pendants, the crystals are refined through a tumbling process: rough fragments are placed in rotary barrels with abrasives and water. This technique gradually smooths and polishes the surfaces while preserving the elongated point shape, giving the stones a glossy finish and rounded edges.
Function
Widely used in necklaces and handcrafted jewelry, these pendants are valued by jewelers, artisans, and wholesalers for their distinctive coloration, durability, and natural geological appeal. Suitable for both modern and rustic jewelry designs.
Care
Clean gently with a soft cloth or mild soapy water. Avoid strong chemicals and excessive heat, as Amphibole can be more sensitive compared to quartz. Store individually in protective pouches to prevent scratches and chipping.
