Meteorite necklace with nephrite jade and calcite pearls, named Meteorite, originating from New Zealand.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This necklace originates from a delicate dialogue between two minerals that speak different languages but are deeply compatible: nephrite jade and calcite. The pearls, arranged in a harmonious gradient from 12 mm in the center to 8 mm on the sides, create a soft and natural line, designed to follow the contour of the neck with balance and lightness. The nephrite jade, with its deep and vital green hues, carries a sense of continuity, silent strength, and rootedness. Its polished surfaces show slight color variations, from the most intense green to lighter shades, as if each pearl held a different density of light. An ancient stone, long associated with concepts of harmony, protection, and moderation, here interpreted in an essential and contemporary form. Contrasting it is calcite, with its light, luminous yellow, almost milky. The calcite pearls softly capture the light, conveying a sense of warmth and openness. Their color evokes morning light—a sunny presence that is never intrusive—lightening and balancing the depth of the jade.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
