Tumbled Blue Chalcedony Pendant with Sterling Silver Cap and Snake Chain

This jewelry piece consists of a substantial freeform tumbled blue chalcedony stone, suspended as a pendant. The chalcedony displays a soft, translucent pale lavender-blue hue with natural internal cloudy inclusions and subtle veining characteristic of high-quality quartz-based minerals. The stone is roughly trapezoidal in its raw, polished form, measuring approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length. It is secured by a custom-fitted sterling silver cap at the top, which features a decorative floral or quatrefoil-style emblem centered on the front face. The silver shows a polished finish with minor surface micro-scratching indicative of light previous wear. The pendant is hung on a sterling silver 'snake' style chain, known for its smooth, tubular link construction that provides a fluid drape. The silver craftsmanship appears to be mid-level contemporary artisan work, likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 2000s. There are no visible chips or major fractures in the stone, though the natural irregular surface suggests an organic aesthetic. The bail is integrated into the cap, allowing for free movement on the chain.
