This pendant is comprised of a staurolite crystal, which was found in Brittany, France. It is in the shape of a cross, which is a common shape in which to find these crystals. They are not prevalent throughout the world and only exist in certain regions. They're known as fairy stones, the cross of Brittany, and fairy tears, as well as by other names.
Many of these crystals are millions of years old.

This pendant measures approximately ¾", not including the bale. I am not certain of the metal content of the bale, but I don't believe it's silver.
*****Condition: There is a a bit of clear glue hardened around the area where the piece is attached to the bale. I imagine this was done as a reinforcement. It is only visible if one looks closely with a loupe.
Thank you for looking.
