White granite + garnet pendant - handmade

Handcrafted pendant made of white granite with garnet.

granite
Granite is a igneous plutonic rock formed by the slow cooling of magma at great depths. It consists primarily of quartz, feldspar, dark hornblende, and biotite. What makes granite special is its coarse crystal structure; the individual crystals in the rock are clearly visible to the naked eye.
The color of granite depends mainly on the conditions during its formation and the proportion of different minerals, and so granite occurs in many different colors around the world.
The ancient Romans and Egyptians made impressive statues, obelisks and columns from granite, and even today granite is often used in construction.

The production
We saw, grind and polish our pendants by hand in our own small workshop in beautiful Bad Honnef on the Rhine.
For this purpose we use diamond-coated grinding wheels, saw blades and drills to shape and grind the hard stones and to achieve a beautiful shine by polishing them.
