Genuine Saffordite Tektite set in sterling silver.  It is a pronged setting with an open back. 

This magical pendant measures 1.33 inches long from the top of the bail by 0.67 inch wide.  The color is kind of a smoky lavender hue.

Saffordite is kind of rare.  This Saffordite specimen by itself measures 17mm wide at the widest point by 25.5mm high. 

Saffordite meaning:

Saffordite is an interesting blend of masculine and feminine, kind of a like a cowboy lovingly caring for his horse.

Saffordite is a member of the obsidian family.  It is volcanic glass.  It is a tektite and therefore unlike other naturally-formed glass.    

When it is shiny black, it is obsidian.  When it is gray or golden or lavenderish, it is a more rare form of obsidian, and generally Saffordite, although still rare.

 It is only found in Safford in the Arizona dessert.
