Hypersthene - the stone with the hidden shimmer! Ben cut this cabochon to highlight the stone’s natural silky reflections, where subtle flashes of bronze and silver glide across the deep charcoal surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"541\" data-end=\"965\"\u003eThe name \u003cem data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"563\"\u003ehypersthene\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the Greek words meaning “over strength,” a nod to the mineral’s durability and solid crystal structure. Hypersthene is a magnesium-iron silicate mineral commonly found in igneous rocks formed deep within the Earth. It is most often found in the northern regions of the United States and Canada, where ancient volcanic activity allowed these crystals to form within slowly cooling magma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003eThe stone is set in solid .925 sterling silver, hand-crafted in Texas by geologist and lapidary artist Ben Davis with master silversmith Randy Bryant. The clean silver frame allows the subtle metallic sheen of the hypersthene to take center stage while providing a durable and timeless setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1372\"\u003eEach piece in the Ben \u0026amp; Bryant Collection celebrates geology, craftsmanship, and the beauty of natural stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural hypersthene\u003cbr data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1427\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Northern United States and Canada\u003cbr data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eGeology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hypersthene is a magnesium-iron silicate mineral formed within igneous rocks as magma cools and crystallizes deep underground\u003cbr data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid .925 sterling silver\u003cbr data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1662\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1679\"\u003eCrafted By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geologist and lapidary artist Ben Davis with master silversmith Randy Bryant\u003cbr data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1761\" data-end=\"1773\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas, USA\u003cbr data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1787\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic sterling silver setting highlighting the natural sheen of the stone\u003cbr data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"1899\"\u003eOne of a Kind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every natural stone displays unique patterns and light reflections\u003cbr data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1969\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"1984\"\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrives with a soft suede jewelry bag and a sterling silver polishing cloth for storage and care\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BenDavisDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42119457505475,"sku":"","price":389.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3981\/4339\/files\/Untitled_design_-_2026-03-07T174633.132.jpg?v=1772927249","url":"https:\/\/bendavisdesign.com\/products\/ben-bryant-hypersphene","provider":"BenDavisDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
