This pretty blue crystal druzy will be made into a necklace specifically for you. The chain is 18K gold filled* and it is a pretty oval and round link style. Please send me the size you need if different than the drop down box. It will be finished with a matching gold lobster clasp. The colors in this stone are sky or ocean blue, darker on the edges with nice crystal formations in the center. It difficult to photograph the little crystal formations, but they are very pretty. The electroplating around the sides is 24K gold over copper for strength. *Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant than gold plated. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors. As a matter of fact, anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold! Caring for Gold Filled items is as easy as caring for any gold jewelry. Simply keep away from chemicals, clean regularly with mildly sudsy water, rinse well and pat dry with a non-scratching cloth. Polish gently with a jewelry polishing cloth.
The most opaque parts of Saturn's rings - the parts that look most dense - don't always contain more material. Another great Saturn mystery!
Saturn's rings burst out of shadow and curve gracefully around the planet. Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across at its widest point) appears as a bright speck touching the inside of the narrow F ring. Atlas (30 kilometers, 19 miles across at its widest point) is also visible, faintly, upward and to the left of Prometheus, just outside the A ring edge. Saturn's shadow cuts across the rings at top right. Several dark, narrow spokes are faintly visible near the B-ring ansa, left of center. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 13 degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 4, 2008 at a distance of approximately 1.2 million kilometers (775,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 71 kilometers (44 miles) per pixel. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
