Bitterroot

This faceted pink tourmaline bracelet is inspired by the subtle elegance of the Bitterroot flower. 

Late May, hot and dry; an intermittent cool evening breeze rustling in the dirt. You hunt for it along the ground, step by careful step.   The beige dirt and grey rocks underfoot in rubble, you find it.  

Layers of petals, pale pink, with white curling stamens and orange-brown stems.  Bitterroot blooms briefly in the Rocky Mountains.  The cloudy pink color of the pink tourmaline and the precise facet cuts catching the light perfectly represent the elegant bitterroot flower, the state flower of Montana. 

A faceted Pink Tourmaline bracelet is strung on a nylon chord and finished with sterling silver bead caps, extension rings, and a delicate sterling silver clasp.
