I’ve been wondering what to do with the bronzite prize from the Egg hunt. Is this the same one?

CAS says:Jeanne, it’s 30 & 1/2 inches long, on me the pendant falls just above my cleavage.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Thanks, Christine. I was thinking that it would have to be long with the heavy pendant. I really like the fact that the pendant is in line with the beads.
