Black and Gray Stone Earrings, Hematite and Pinolith Earrings, Black and Gray Jewelry, Gift for Her, Gift for Mom

These earrings feature Oval pendants of Pinolith with Hematite and Swarovski Crystals.

I used non tarnish silver wire to wrap the ovals and stack the beads on top, in a very minimalist modern way. I encased the Hematite in shiny silver flower bead caps, otherwise the focus is on the stones! These are one of a kind earrings.

Pinolith, also called pinolite, is a rare stone consisting of howlite, dolomite and graphite. It forms when magnesite nodules settle in layers of graphite and dolomite. It comes from only one place in the world, a magnesite deposit located in Lower Tauern, a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps in Austria, where pinolith was discovered in 1873.

Pinolith is easily scratched, so special care should be taken in cleaning and storing this stone. Use water and a soft cloth to safely clean. Storing in a drawstring bag is a quick-and-easy way to protect the stone from scratches. It is not recommended to use ultrasonic and steam cleaning on pinolith.

Shown with Sterling Silver French Hook ear wires.

Length: about 2-1/4 inches.

Comes in a cotton-filled gold foil box perfect for gift-giving or for yourself!
