I looked at this piece for a long time before buying it because of the cost. The workmanship is great. I do wish it were a bit larger, but it is a stand-out piece just the same. I could have never bought it if it were more expensive. It matches others Chrysocolla pieces I've bought perfectly.
I first bought this necklace off Novica more than 10 years ago. I lost it and immediately bought another. Then I bought a third for my son. Love everything about this necklace, it is totally up my alley.
I wear this daily with a jade pendant on it - very nice quality piece. It did bleed out quite a bit of oxidant right at first but I cleaned it ultrasonically and that took care of it - it wears clean now. I recommend this one.:
