Contact me if this is returned
A very unusual and large carved tourmalated quartz pendant with a reverse carved cat, appearing to peer out from brush created by the whiskery lines of tourmaline crystal growing in the quartz. Built in 14K yellow gold with a hinged bale that allows it to be easily attached to any chain. Lacks hallmarks, but the quartz was probably carved in Idar Oberstein, Germany, a town known for exquisite gemstone carving.
