This pendant is made of Carborundum Stone and hand-wrapped in 13 gauge sterling silver wire.
Carborundum, made of silicon carbide, is a man-made stone created through chemical reactions. Known for its use in jewelry and artifacts, it is valued for its metaphysical and healing properties, said to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, fostering optimism and happiness. Though primarily artificial, natural carborundum is extremely rare and found in the mineral moissanite, first discovered in Arizona.
Named by the original manufacturer, Acheson, in 1890, who originally attempted to synthesize artificial diamond, but ended up creating blue crystals of silicon carbide, which he called Carborundum.
