The steel chain with a clasp is 37 cm long + 7 cm extension part. The necklace is intended to be worn briefly around the neck.

Geologically, it is a fascinating combination of quartz and graphite. Quartz is formed by the crystallization of mineral-rich solutions in rock cracks, while graphite is a natural form of carbon formed by the transformation of organic materials under high pressures and temperatures. During the growth of quartz, small particles of graphite can be enclosed directly in the emerging crystal, creating unique dark inclusions inside the stone.

Graphite in quartz is often perceived as a stone of concentration and psychological stability. It is supposed to support the ability to maintain calm, perspective and inner balance even in difficult times. Quartz amplifies and clarifies energy, while graphite anchors and stabilizes it. Together they create a balanced combination of subtle intuition and a strong connection with reality.

Many people choose this stone for its natural aesthetics and symbolism of connecting opposites. Dark graphite drawings inside the light quartz remind us that light and shadow are not separate worlds, but part of a single whole. Each stone acts as a small landscape hidden inside the mineral.

The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on the clothes, the skin of the wearer, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly and even in water, but then it is good to dry it and treat it more often.
