AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This elegant 925 silver pendant houses a polished cabochon of atlantisite, a rare and fascinating mineral found exclusively in Tasmania, Australia. The vibrant contrast between the bright olive green of serpentine and the intense purple of stichtite makes each piece unique, almost like a small piece of natural art.
Atlantisite is a natural combination of two minerals.
Serpentine, a metamorphic rock known for its connection to the earth, protection, and physical healing.
Stichtite, a violet-pink chromium and magnesium carbonate, associated with heart energy, compassion, and emotional transformation.
The oval cabochon displays an extraordinary distribution of colors: green seems to paint a vibrant landscape, while purple spreads like veins or volcanic patches, creating a surface full of character. Each stone is unique, but all tell the geological story of the island of Tasmania, one of the oldest lands on the planet.
The mounting in 925 silver is understated and elegant, designed to leave ample space for the beauty and colors of the mineral, while also providing a solid structure and everyday portability.
Atlantisite is named after the legendary lost continent of Atlantis, due to its mystical appearance and suggestive colors.
It is said to promote the connection between heart and spirit, harmonizing mind and emotions, and helping to release old energetic blocks.
