Beautiful, all natural Dendritic Agates accented with faceted Mexican fire opals set in sterling silver, these slightly mismatched earrings measure 1 1/8" long by 1/2" wide. The Mexican Fire Opals are 4mm. The sterling silver fronds were cast from live evergreen sprigs and echo the shapes within the Dendritic Agates. I've embossed the backs with a floral motif so they are interesting from both sides.

Agates are a variety of Chalcedony which is a part of the Quartz family. The inclusions are the result of iron oxide or manganese oxide. Iron oxides result in the orange to red color and manganese oxides create black designs. These feathery inclusions are called dendrites.

Agates are the mystical birthstone for September and are also the birthstone for the Zodiac sign of Gemini. The energies of the stone are said to be good for the skin and eyes. Dendritic Agate is known as the Stone of Plentitude. It is said to bring abundance and is associated with the ancient Greek dryads, which were woodland and tree spirits.
