I was looking for a nice pendant to wear that was not so subtle and had real shine to it.  Well, this pendant fits the bill perfectly.  Truly it captures the aurora borealis when light hits it.  I wore it for a Christmas party and not only did I get several compliments, but also they wanted to know where I got it from.  It is one of my larger pieces, but it really is charming and I'm glad I bought it.
