Bumble Bee Jasper Heart Pendant by Tia Long, Navajo

Crafted by Tia Long, a Navajo artisan, this pendant features a heart-shaped Bumble Bee Jasper stone securely held in a sawtooth bezel. An intricate twisted sterling silver rope surrounds the stone, and the pendant bale measures 6mm.

Bumblebee Jasper is mined in Indonesia from the side of a volcano. The vivid colors are from sulfur and arsenic compounds.
