Description Io: The innermost of the four Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter and, with a diameter of 3,642 kilometers (2,263 mi), the fourth-largest moon in the Solar S:stem. It was named after the mythological character of Io, a priestess of Hera who became one of the lovers of Zeus. With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System.[7][8] This extreme geologic activity is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io's interior as it is pulled between Jupiter and the other Galilean satellites—Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Unlike most satellites in the outer Solar System, which are mostly composed of water ice, Io is primarily composed of silicate rock surrounding a molten iron or iron sulfide core. Most of Io's surface is characterized by extensive plains coated with sulfur and sulfur dioxide frost. Io's volcanism is responsible for many of it’s unique features. Its volcanic plumes and lava flows produce large surface changes and paint the surface in various shades of yellow, red, white, black, and green.

Three black retaining rings wired together using 28ga black wire form the delicate framework for this pendant... on the bottom a single 22mm aquamarine sphinx pear crystal and on either side 12mm aquamarine wild heart crystals all on gunmetal bails... These crystals are stunning! You will not believe the wide array of vibrant color in them.

Pendant Dimensions: 2 /4 inches tall x 1 1/8 inches wide
18 inch gunmetal rolo chain with 3 inch extender chain
