Product History

Gold-filled is defined as a layer of 10kt or better gold mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to another metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. The quantity of the gold must be at least 1/20th of the item's total weight. The item must be marked as 10, 12 or 14kt gold-filled. Gold-filled is much thicker than gold plated, and gold-filled items are generally considered lifetime products.

Prehnite is best known in shades of green that vary from pale to very dark. However, it also occurs in various shades of yellow, gray, blue, and pink and is commonly white. Its streak is colorless, and it exhibits a vitreous-to-weak pearly luster.
