Melinda - SOLD

Zebra jasper topped with bronzed flowers snuggling cream pearls. Yummilicious. I think i have a tendency towards stones that are chocolate colored. Measures approx 4cm excluding bronze plated earhooks.

A tidbit about Zebras
"African bushmen of Guinea refer to these stripes in their native Madango as "sukuku" which means "lightning" and plays an important role in the customs of the eastern region of Kankan. In ancient beliefs it was thought zebras were sent by the spirit of lightning and rain to remind people that time changes, good seasons of abundant fertility might turn out to be droughts, that giving life may take another's life away, that black can't exist without white."
