Boho necklace of African Turquoise and Black Onyx stones

Description

Boho necklace of African Turquoise and Black Onyx stones.

A necklace with a vaguely vintage flavour, composed of natural stones of African Turquoise, in the form of a tube, matt black Onyx and in the middle always Onyx with a polished faceted finish.

The African Turquoise stone is a variety of yellow Jasper with inclusions of Hematite, giving this stone a matrix structure similar to that of Turquoise, which is why it is also called this.

The African Turquoise stones are interspersed with opaque black Onyx, to give a dark tone, recalled precisely by the Hematite inclusions present, as described in the previous paragraph.

This necklace is a particular accessory for the man who wears a sporty casual style, has a subtle line and warm, embracing colours reminiscent of summer; it is suitable for all those who want to stand out from the crowd and fashion diktats.

Property and curiosity about the Jasper stone

Jasper (a word of Persian origin, also connected to the Greek-Latin iaspis, meaning “speckled stone”) is a mono-mineral sedimentary rock, meaning it is formed from a single mineral. It is composed of quartz (SiO₂) and often contains impurities, usually iron compounds, which give the stone its vibrant colors and make it highly valued as a semi-precious gemstone.

Jasper was already known in ancient times for its protective powers against spells and magic. The ancient Greeks believed it could ward off the fear of ghosts, while for the Chinese, Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Etruscans, jasper was considered a sacred stone.

Jasper is also mentioned in the Book of Revelation, in reference to the Holy City of Jerusalem:
“Its radiance was like that of a very precious stone, like a crystal-clear jasper” (Revelation 21:11).

The city itself rests on twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone. The first foundation is jaspe
