"Gorgeous Mayan Jade Pendant"
This gorgeous Mayan Jade pendant looks even better in natural light. It exhibits different shades of green, and sometimes (overall) just the tiniest hint of greenish blue. The elliptical shape makes it the perfect touchstone throughout the day as it has a smooth and comforting feel. I also love that it's on an adjustable cord. If you're looking to try out your first piece of Mayan Jade then this piece is a great one to start with. It's not too big and has the right heft to it. Thank you, Ruben and Gilda, for choosing and working on this beautiful piece of jade! It's elegant, versatile, and a tactile piece of art!
