Raw Amethyst Point Wire-Wrapped Pendant

This item is a handcrafted pendant featuring a natural, raw amethyst crystal point. The amethyst displays a gradient of color, transitioning from a pale, translucent milky quartz at the top to a deeper violet hue toward the bottom tip. The stone remains in its rustic, unpolished state, showcasing jagged edges and natural inclusions characteristic of raw quartz minerals. The crystal is secured within a minimalist wire-wrap cage made of a matte-finished silver-toned metal, likely pewter, base metal, or sterling silver. The wire construction utilizes a series of flat bands that cross the face of the stone in an 'X' pattern, providing structural security while leaving the majority of the crystal visible. The top of the pendant is finished with a simple, integrated oval bail for suspension on a chain. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the metallic components. The condition appears fair to good; the stone shows natural fracturing and internal veining, which are inherent to the material rather than damage. The metal wire exhibits a slight dullness and minor surface scratches, suggesting contemporary mid-to-late 20th-century artisan production. The overall craftsmanship is functional and representative of bohemians or 'New Age' style jewelry.
