Emerald Cut Apache Tear Ring

Emerald cut Apache Tear collected in El Paso set into a brushed Sterling silver ring. Size 10 $60

This is cut from an Apache Tear collected here in El Paso, Texas by my son Brian. An Apache Tear is lava glass, obsidian that didn’t flow.  It blew up into the air in splatters the formed somewhat rounded droplets that cooled in the air before returning to the Earth.  So, this ring reflects on part of El Paso’s rich geologic history.   It was cut be me in an Emerald cut.  I have mounted it a bit high in order to allow light to pass through it. The ring is a size 10 and made of Sterling silver.  $60
