Steampunk Phantom Quartz Pendant : Now in my shop .

Quartz is always fascinating and there is a vast variety . It amazingly constitute 12% of the earth crust.

These are the main types of Quartz :
In bold are those i currently have in stock
Chalcedony Agate ,Onyx ,Jasper ,Aventurine ,Tiger's eye ,Rock crystal ,Amethyst,Citrine ,Prasiolite ,Rose quartz ,Rutilated quartz ,Milk quartz ,Smoky quartz ,Carnelian

In this pendant the phantom quartz can be seen in the clear rock crystal quartz . It is a cloud of tiny crystals that are formed when the quartz pauses during its growth then resumes. The phantom quartz is often composed of different variety of quartz such as amethyst , milky quartz and smoky quartz.

I have included a clock gear in the pendant to give it a modern twist.
I also use brass ,copper, gun metal and silver colored material to mirror the anachronism inherent in steampunk .

Exclusive blog previews : Steampunk Phantom Quartz Bracelet

Recently quartz has been my favorite mineral . I had Smoky quartz,Black rutilated , golden rutilated ,coppery rutilated and Multi rutilated quartz . Now i have received a new specimen called phantom quartz . I received some mineral color Phantom quartz :

First i had no idea what i would do with it but everything falls into places as i just follow the shapes of the stones with wire .

I have used Tinned Copper wire to match with the earthy nature of the quartz.

I will make a ring and pendant to match with this bracelet as a set , maybe some earrings too.

These are the 2 pendant i received .
