Sonora Sunrise Jasper Pendants  

Mexican Cuprite-Chrysocolla Jasper in Sterling Silver

Sonora Sunrise formed through copper mining activity in northern Mexico, where cuprite and chrysocolla deposited together in dramatic swirls and patches. The red sections contain cuprite, a copper oxide mineral, while the green-blue areas consist of chrysocolla, a hydrated copper silicate. This combination registers between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for pendant wear with reasonable care. Each piece in this collection sits in .925 sterling silver sourced and verified for purity. The settings range from simple bezels that frame the stone to more detailed metalwork that complements the red and green coloring. Because Sonora Sunrise patterns differ from stone to stone, your pendant will carry markings specific to that cut. SilverRush Style has sold natural gemstone jewelry since 2005. We photograph each pendant individually so you select the exact stone you receive. Browse the collection to find a Sonora Sunrise pattern that appeals to you.
