Trapiche Amethyst Pendant

This breathtaking pendant, designed and handmade by George, features a genuine Trapiche Amethyst. This is a rare and highly sought-after formation where impurities create a distinct six-rayed pattern. Unlike star stones, which display a shifting asterism effect under light, Trapiche gems have fixed, spoke-like inclusions formed by mineral growth in a radial pattern.

Trapiche stones develop when impurities like clay or carbon are trapped during crystal formation, creating natural “spokes” that divide the gem into sections. While Amethyst is a rarer example, other Trapiche gemstones include Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, and Tourmaline.

Set in 100% sterling silver with an 18-karat gold accent on the bail, this beautiful piece highlights the deep, gemmy purple of the Amethyst against a crystal-clear matrix—like a perfectly framed work of art. With its rarity and unmistakable beauty, this piece is a must-have for collectors and jewelry lovers alike. Chain not included.
