Lepidolite is a new stone for me. It's a type of mica, and it's rather soft: 2.5 on the Mohs scale, which is the same hardness as fingernails. I love the color of these, a soft grayish violet.
The beads are flat ovals, measuring 14x10mm. I linked each with sterling silver wire, finishing with a Bali silver hook & eye clasp. The necklace is about 20.25 inches long (you can hook the clasp between two beads to wear it shorter), with a weight of 1.0 oz.
The headpins and French hooks I used for the matching earrings are all sterling silver. The longest dangle is about 1.5 inches, and the earrings weigh 0.2 oz.
