DESCRIPTION

Thinly braided lariat necklace in tones of grey and muted pinks. On one end of the lariat is a braided loop that ends in a grey Flint Hagstone (aka Holey Stone - meaning there is a natural hole through the stone, a feature that's purported in old legends to give the stone magical features, apparently you might see a fairy if looking through the naturally formed hole.). On the other end there are two braided strands, one ending in a smooth Lepidolite pebble and the other consisting of two Lepidolites and a rough cut Ruby. To close this lariat necklace, you slide the single strand Lepidolite through the braided loop that has the Flint in the other end. The lariat also includes tiny highlighting crystals of copper-plated, faceted Hematite.

The total length of this lariat necklace, from end to end: 72 cm (28.3"). When this lariat is closed with the Lepidolite strand through the Flint's braided loop, the all around length of the closed braid is approx. 55 cm (21.6") with the braided strands dangling down a total length of approx. 13.5 cm (5.3"). The Flint Hagstone  is just over 2.5 cm (1") wide.

You'll receive this lariat in a fabric draw-string pouch for safekeeping, and beautifully gift-wrapped at no extra cost.
