Tree Frog Variscite Studs

If you are unfamiliar with Variscite, the stones in this set are an amazing introduction! Variscite is often mistaken for turquoise as they can look quite similar, though Variscite tends to be greener than Turquoise and does not contain any copper in its composition. Variscite is often found near Turquoise deposits as they form under similar circumstances. The sterling silver border is a bit more fancy than a plain silver rope border.

The earrings weigh 8 grams each, about the same as eight paperclips! 

Stamped sterling and signed with my maker's mark.
