Natural catseye 8mm rondelle necklace + earrings

These beads are natural catseye and are a variety of quartz.  The cat's  eye effect is called chatoyancy (from the French words for "cat's eye") and is due to the material's internal fibrous structure.  You can see my other natural catseye necklace here.

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

The catseye rondelles are smooth and measure 8x5mm.  I used more of my 99% pure silver beads from Thailand; the silver origami boxes are about 8 to 9mm long.  I finished with a Bali (sterling) silver hook & eye clasp.

The necklace is about 17.5 inches long, and weighs 1.4 oz.

The French hooks and headpins I used for the matching earrings are sterling silver.  The dangles are about 1.25 inches long, and the earrings weigh 0.2 oz.
