Description
Rhyolite stones are also known as "rainforest jasper" for a reason - they have a gorgeous pattern of greens, whites, subtle yellows and rust colors that bring you to a rainforest canopy after a summer storm. They are strung on a 3" bar of copper and complemented with small antiqued copper beads and wires, these necklace and earrings feel rustic and earthy.
I added a soft coppery-brown patina to the necklace chain that gives it an inner glow with the twinkle of raw copper peeking through the patina.
