For the nature lover, these long drop earrings with their ochre and metallic earth colours are an ideal choice. I find geology fascinating and living in the Isle of Skye I am surrounded by landscape of volcanic derived ridges. erratics and corries. I love bumblebee jasper because it comes from an  Indonesian volcano having been first discovered in Java during the 1990s. It is known there as ‘batu badar belerang‘ which roughly translates to ‘coal becoming sulphur’.  And indeed those amazing colours come from its sulphur and arsenic content—although its name of course refers more to its resemblance to the colour of bees. How cool is that? I teamed it with pyrite the gemstone of good fortune.

Finished with antique bronze coloured copper ear wires.  Drop length 4.5cm. These come to you on a signature Indigo Berry earring card wrapped in tissue in a pretty organza bag, along with information about the gemstone and tips on caring for your gemstone jewellery.
