Large Maya Eclipse Lilac and Black Jade Silver Necklace, "Lilac Quetzal Eclipse"
Zandra Lorena Sajbin designs a reversible pendant of extraordinary beauty in honor of Maya astronomy. She crafts the pendant by hand with sterling silver featuring the quetzal bird and a temple over the lilac jade side of the pendant. The black jade side features a crescent moon. Maya astronomers sought to predict eclipses, which they likened to the galaxy taking a breath and which influenced human conscience.
Lilac jade is a natural stone. Its color will vary due to its white, green, blue and rose veins.

"Great Anniversary Gift!"





I bought the eclipse pendant as an anniversary gift for my wife. We honeymooned in Mexico and visited many Mayan ruins. This beautiful pendant brings back all those memories. A great piece to add to her collection.

"Beautiful pendant"





This eclipse pendant is stunning that Friends want to steal it from me. I told them go to Novica and get one. I love artisans around the world and finding items that I cannot find in the United States.
