These earrings measure 2 1/2” dropped from the earlobe to the bottom of the gemstone. The gemstones measure 1” wide x 3/4” tall.

These earrings are created using Nevada mined Variscite from the Black Bridge mine. This particular mine produces both Turquoise and Variscite. It can be difficult to tell where the turquoise ends and the variscite begins. Some stones appear to even contain both.
✨Variscite can look a lot like Turquoise- the beautiful green kind. Variscite comes in a variety of stunning shades of green. Pale to emerald-green, bluish green, colourless to white, pale shades of brown or yellow, rarely red; Colourless to pale green in transmitted light. Fun fact: Variscite was named after Variscia, an old name for Vogtland, the German district where the mineral was first discovered.
