Introducing the Palomino Double Stone Necklace. A stunning handcrafted piece that brings together the warm, earthy beauty of two Palomino Variscite stones (also known as Palomino Turquoise) set in sterling silver. This pendant is made by hand and suspended from an 18-inch sterling silver chain, making it the perfect length to wear at the collarbone or layered with other necklaces.
The two Palomino Variscite stones sit together beautifully, their natural golden-yellow, olive-green, and soft light blue tones with creamy swirls and earthy hues making every piece completely unique. No two necklaces will ever look exactly the same — that's the magic of working with natural stone.
Fun Facts About Palomino Variscite (Palomino Turquoise):
- Despite its nickname "Palomino Turquoise," this stone is actually a variety of Variscite — a rare phosphate mineral that is often mistaken for turquoise due to its similar appearance and earthy color palette.
- Variscite gets its warm, golden-yellow to olive-green tones from the presence of iron, which sets Palomino Variscite apart from the more common blue-green turquoise.
- It is found in only a handful of locations in the United States, making it a relatively rare and highly sought-after stone among collectors and jewelry makers.
- Variscite has been used in jewelry and adornment for thousands of years and was prized by ancient cultures long before turquoise became popular.
- Crystal enthusiasts associate Variscite with calm, patience, and inner peace — making this necklace as soothing to wear as it is beautiful to look at.
