Angelite Mushroom Pendant 3/4"

The Angelite Mushroom Pendant is a small carved mushroom charm cut from natural angelite, a pale blue form of anhydrite (calcium sulfate). Its soft, powdery blue tone is unlike most other blue crystals, and it's carved to about 3/4 inch (roughly 19mm) with a drilled hole or bail for stringing. As a natural stone, shading varies slightly from piece to piece.

Quick facts

About

Angelite is the trade name for a pale blue form of anhydrite, a calcium sulfate mineral that forms when gypsum deposits lose water over time under pressure. That same chemistry makes angelite genuinely water-sensitive, which is worth knowing before you clean or store it. It is mined in relatively limited locations, most notably Peru, which along with its softness makes well-carved pieces like this one a bit less common than harder, more widely available crystals. This mushroom-shaped charm captures angelite's soft, muted blue in a compact, easy-to-layer size.

How to wear it

This pendant is sold on its own, without a chain or cord included, so it's ready for a cord or chain of your choice. Its light weight and small 3/4-inch size make it comfortable for everyday wear, though its softness means it wears best as an occasional accent rather than a piece knocked around daily.

Care

Important: angelite is soft and water-sensitive; contact with water can cause it to convert to gypsum, permanently changing the stone. Never soak or wet-clean this pendant. Dry cloth only, and store it away from humidity and other jewelry that could scratch its soft surface. This is a decorative item, not a health product or medical device.
