Lady Murasaki had many fineries of silk, scented and folded into a cedar box. But from her childhood days she kept this silver bauble made of many tiny, faceted quartz drops. A gift from an older girl in the Emperor's court.

Blue and pale green quartz drops wire wrapped on sterling silver chain, with silver accents, a faceted nugget of aquamarine in the front, and a dangling blue drop encircled in silver on the nape of the neck.
