I swoon for variations in translucency. The 90 carats of snowflake obsidian are opaque, while the 29 carats of grey chalcedony allow light to pass through and echo the color of the "snowflakes." There are some nice close-up photos below that show the variations in textures of the snowflake obsidian. Handwrought Balinese silver and tiny hematite accents are used throughout. Matching earrings are available. The necklace is 35.5" long.
