Vintage Navajo Gaspeite Butterfly Pendant

A rare and wonderfully whimsical vintage find. This Navajo Gaspeite butterfly pendant transforms the stone’s unmistakable vivid green into an intricate, dimensional butterfly composed of individually cut and set stones.

Natural Gaspeite forms the wings and body, displaying beautiful variations of bright apple and chartreuse green with subtle natural matrix throughout. Each section is individually bezel-set in sterling silver, while twisted silver antennae and small silver accents complete the butterfly design.

The substantial sterling silver bail makes this piece perfect for wearing on Navajo Pearls, a silver chain, or leather. With its unusual figural design and abundance of Gaspeite, this is an especially collectible vintage statement piece.
