Coin with a serpentinite teardrop

The base is a genuine coin from the Middle East and South Asia – stars, a crescent, plant wreaths, and inscriptions in Arabic or Urdu are visible. The relief is worn in places, the surface shows signs of long circulation, and discoloration caused by soldering is visible around the setting.

The central element is a natural teardrop-shaped stone. The color ranges from deep green to almost black, with delicate, milky streaks and irregular inclusions. The structure and coloring suggest serpentinite – a rock often confused commercially with "black jadeite." The stone is not perfectly polished; it retains minor irregularities and natural inclusions.

The setting is made of a brass alloy and has a simple, hand-crafted design. Traces of soldering are visible, as are slight melting where it contacts the coin, and localized darkening of the metal. This is a workshop craft, not mass production. Each piece differs in the shade of the stone and the degree of patina.

Pendants of this type were created as adaptations of coins into jewelry – a simple, symbolic amulet worn around the neck. The price is for one random piece from the batch. Each piece differs in the detail of the coin's relief and the shade of green of the stone.
