This colorful necklace tells the unique story of the five Great Lakes. The sand samples line up (top to bottom) to spell HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). An earthy, elegant conversation piece for lake lovers and land mermaids! The pendant hangs from an 18 inch black or brown cotton cord. Each necklace is securely shipped, with the following information:

LAKE HURON
Composed mostly of quartz, this collection was picked up near the Mackinaw bridge in Mackinaw City, MI.

LAKE ONTARIO
A massive chain of clay bluffs called drumlins, line the shores of central New York. This muddy collection was picked up near Rochester, NY.

LAKE MICHIGAN
Glittery black sand can be picked up with a magnet along the shores of Lake Michigan. Magnetite is often mistaken for pollution. This collection was picked up in South Haven, MI.

LAKE ERIE
This tiny rock collection is composed mostly of quartz, basalt, granite, and shale. The stones were scooped up along the pebbly shores of Erie, PA.

LAKE SUPERIOR
Red rhyolite is formed by rapidly cooled magma. This volcanic collection was picked up along Lake Superior's steep cliffs, near Duluth, MN.
