The vibrant stone point in this pendant is amphibole in quartz. It includes a range of moody autumn colors from maroon to burnt oranges. The bezel of the stone point is decorated with stamped oak leaves, like they're floating on the autumn wind. Atop the stone is a cast sterling silver twig, acting as a bail to hold the loops for a chain. My maker's mark (BLJ) is stamped in between the twig. The silver has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. The pendant measures 2.8" tall and 1" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
