Nellite (Lion Skin) Carry Stone - 1 pc

 Nellite Carry Stones


Nellite (also known as lion skin) is an unusual stone. Found in South Africa in the area of the tiger eye mines, it appears

to be an intermediary stone between tiger eye and pietersite, as it has the golden shimmer of tiger eye and the blue

crocidolite that also gives pietersite its blue color. Its high silica content gives it translucency and a depth like labradorite

when cut into these disks. 

They are cut flat on both sides and polished smooth, with rounded edges for holding comfort. They would also make

wonderful pendants, as creative jewelry makers can use them for cabs and in wire wrapping. Each is very similar in size

and shape, but has a unique appearance!

 

Size: about 1/4 inch thick and approximately 1 1/4 up to 1 3/4 inches in irregular diameter.

Unit for sale: 1 piece

Stone origin: South Africa. Made in China.
