Recently retired and clearing out some of my collections as I need to downsize. This listing is for a exceptional Sterling Silver and Variscite pendant by renowned Navajo silversmith Tom Lewis. I bought this on a trip to Santa Fe several years ago; it has been worn only a few times since then. The pendant is signed on the bale by the artist and stamped Sterling. It is in pristine pre-owned condition. This large gorgeous one-of-a-kind pendant will surely attract a lot of attention. I’ve never seen such a large and beautiful specimen of Variscite, very rare stone and this is a really nice example. See photos for additional information and please contact me if you have any questions. This item is in the category “Jewelry & Watches\Ethnic, Regional & Tribal\Necklaces & Pendants”.

Navajo Gem Grade Spiderweb Variscite. Sterling Silver Belt Buckle. 3.1″ X 2.4″. Will accept a belt of up to 1.5. 63.6 grams = 2.04 Troy ounces. All measurement are approximate. Navajo Gem Grade Variscite Buckle. This Large and exquisite Belt Buckle was made by a talented Navajo artist using a stunning Spiderweb Variscite stone that has lots of dark Matrix. It is Not stamp signed with a hallmark depicting the maker, nor it is stamped “Sterling” on reverse of the buckle. There is no tarnish and has its original high luster. The buckle looks, and probably is what most would consider “New”. I listed it as pre-owned, because it is… The stone is really the story here and this gem grade Variscite stone is magnificent. It seems to have all the characteristics and look of a stone mined in the Candelaria area in Nevada. You may notice that this stone, with its interesting “globules” and dark background, could be mistaken for Turquoise from the same area. In the United States, Variscite is also mined in Utah and Wyoming. It is generally more rare than Turquoise, but it is not incorporated in Native jewelry as commonly as Turquoise. The mining region is located about 50 miles west of Tonoph, Nevada. Turquoise was first mined by a Mexican in about 1885. This stone is luminous and radiant. This exceptional material is appreciated and used by many of the best Native American jewelers. I hope you like it! The simple and precise stamp work is also impressive and worth examining in the magnified pictures! Here is a real treat. I have never seen a buckle that has stamping on the square bezel that holds the Turquoise… This one has it! It is all quite fine.
