Custom Wire Wrapped Faceted Helenite Necklace/Pendant/Pendant/Slide Sterling Silver size: 1 3/8 x 5/8 inch or 34mm x 16mm Special facet by a member from our Gem & Mineral Club.
What is Helenite: Helenite was first created accidentally after the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. Workers from the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company were attempting to salvage equipment damaged after the volcanic eruption. Using acetylene torches, they noticed that the intense heat was melting the nearby volcanic ash and rock and turning it a greenish color.
