Natural catseye bead-link necklace #2

Img_1653Natural catseye is a form of quartz, with an internal linear grain that gives it chatoyancy.  These beads aren't highly chatoyant, but the gray structure gives the appearance of silk caught under glass.  Each bead measures about 18x13mm.

(Man-made catseye is much more common, by the way.  It's formed out of fiberoptic glass.)

Img_1658 I linked each bead with tarnish-resistant silver-plated wire.  The hook & eye clasp is also silver-plated.

Img_1656 The length is 23 inches (can be worn shorter), and the weight is 2.0 oz.

Price: $20.70 (shipping is free)
