Big Dipper Necklace with Pink or Green Tourmaline Gemstones

One of the most recognizable star formations in the northern sky is the Big Dipper.  As part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Dipper makes up the hindquarters of the great bear.   These sterling silver Big Dipper necklaces feature either pink or green gem tourmaline from Mt. Marie pegmatite in Paris, Maine and were mined by Dennis Durgin between 2009-2013.  Each tourmaline necklace features 7 gemstones with a total weight of 0.55 carats. The dipper is 2.5 inches across on a 16 inch sterling silver chain. These necklaces were crafted by William Vanaria, a Massachusetts based jeweler.
