Dumortierite Double Butterfly Pendant from China
Dumortierite
Dumortierite is an aluminium-borosilicate that usually occurs in blue to violet-blue shades, often with a fibrous or granular structure. The stone is named after French palaeontologist Eugène Dumortier, who described the mineral in the 19th century. Due to its striking colour, dumortierite is often used as an ornamental stone and sometimes as an imitation of lapis lazuli.
Major deposits include Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the United States. Dumortierite forms in aluminium-rich metamorphic rocks and pegmatites. Its chemical formula is Al₇BO₃(SiO₄)₃O₃ and its hardness is between 7 and 8 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively hard and wear-resistant.

Double-Binder Pendants
The stone cut into double-cylinder is fixed in a silver- or gold-coloured holder with eye. The double-inder has a length of about 3.2 cm, measured without the eye. These pendants are available in various stone types and are supplied individually. Due to the use of natural stone, colour, markings and finish may vary slightly from one pendant to another.
