magnesite statement ring

I have made several trips to Arkansas to dig for crystals, and when I go I always stop by a particular rock shop that has a small collection of cabochons cut by the owner. He has always had a few large magnesite cabs, and I always end up snagging one or two. There is something about the ivory and brown spider web pattern that draws me in...it promotes a soothing, loving, and meditative sense by the wearer allowing one to turn inward. Its physical properties help with the absorption of magnesium into the body, and thus it is used to help detoxify several organs in the body, relieve PMS, support bone/teeth health, and even help with muscle spasms. This statement piece is set with a simple border and accent ball. The band is substantial in order to support the size of the ring and includes a square wire border. The sterling and fine silver are deeply oxidized with a rich matte black.

Materials: oxidized sterling and fine silver, magnesite
