Scottish Lewisian Gneiss Pendant

Pendant made of Scottish Lewisian gneiss.

Scottish Lewisian
Scottish Lewisian comes from the islands of Lewis, Harris and the northern Highlands.
The raw material is collected by hand and forms the bedrock of Scotland and is one of the oldest rocks in the world, estimated to be 3 billion years old (3,000,000,000 years old!)!
Lewisian Gneiss, as the group of rocks is called, is composed of various minerals such as feldspar, quartz and epidote and this combination of minerals also gives the Lewisian its great colors and structures.
Even the earliest cultures in Scotland used the Lewisian to build important monuments such as stone circles and sacred sites

Handmade in Germany
I saw, grind, and polish the pendants by hand in my own small workshop in beautiful Bad Honnef on the Rhine. I use diamond-coated grinding wheels, sawblades, and drills to shape, grind, and polish the stones to bring out their unique colors and textures.
