Germany Psilomelane Dendrite that was mined from a limestone quarry. Nice contrast. Psilomelane dendrite pendant set in a silver petal shaped frame that measures 0.86 inch wide by 1.86 inches long from the top of the bail. The bail was soldered slightly askew so I have reduced the price fifty percent. Hangs fine from a chain.
