Sterling silvermushroom pendant necklace featuresa bronze moon with a star. Includes an 18 inch, rhodium-plated sterling silver 1.0mm snake chain with lobster clasp.

Rhodium plated silver is sterling silver coated in rhodium to make it whiter and brighter. Silver is a softer metal, so rhodium protects it from scratches or wear. Solid silver is too soft to be fashioned into jewelry, so it contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals like copper, nickel, or a combination of the two. The traces of copper and nickel in sterling silver cause tarnishing. Adding rhodium plating prevents this from happening.

Mushrooms sometimes sprout up overnight and sometimes in crescent moon formations. This frightened folks in the Dark Ages who believed their sudden eruption was proof of sorcery.

And, the Mazatec Indians of Brazil eat magic mushrooms only at night in absolute darkness. They believe if you eat them in the daylight you will go mad. The depths of the night are recognized as the best time for visionary insights into the obscurities and perplexities of existence.
