Natural Mineral / Abundance / Oil-Bearing Crystal / Double-Terminated Crystal / With Bubbles / Herkimer Diamond

Natural Mineral / Oil-Bearing Double-Terminated Crystal / Contains Mineral Oil, Bitumen Suitable for Collection Origin: Pakistan Loose Stone Weight: 1.95g Dimensions (excluding bail): 39mm x 21mm #OilBearingCrystal #DoubleTerminatedCrystal #HerkimerDiamond Oil-bearing crystal is a rare find among crystal yields. I have sourced the highest-grade oil-bearing crystal currently available on the market to craft these pieces. Originating from Pakistan, these crystals are in no way inferior when placed alongside Herkimer diamonds; an uninformed observer might mistake them for New York State origin. In reality, double-terminated crystals with a brilliance comparable to Herkimer diamonds can be found worldwide. The oil inclusions within will exhibit fluorescence under UV light. **Please verify that the "chain length" and "style" meet your requirements.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will cause the jewelry to blacken and undergo vulcanization. If exposed to such substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, which has a slightly acidic pH of 4 for skin sterilization, has been shown to corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation with prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enveloped by sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage; if you have had similar experiences, please exercise caution.** To maintain the pristine appearance of silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day if it has come into contact with sweat, and then keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with chemical additives can indeed accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, and chlorine in swimming pools... etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume before putting on jewelry, to avoid direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for usage and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air's moisture content is relatively high. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness, and store pieces separately to avoid friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidation and turning yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply polishing it gently with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly darkened. The vulcanization technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation and requires no extra cleaning for the crevices. Frequent wear, where the surface of the jewelry rubs against clothing, can help maintain a certain level of newness. ◮ About Us To ensure the highest quality, each of our creations undergoes repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or imperfections. To guarantee the resilience of the material, we employ repeated forging and hammering, which gives our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling off with long-term wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and it obscures the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our creations are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will find that its oxidation rate is considerably slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you will find a unique piece of jewelry that belongs to you here.
