. One of a kind Dendritic Agate wrapped in sterling silver twigs, this necklace is completely natural although it looks like a fine pen and ink drawing. This Dendritic Agate measures 23mm by 16mm. I have embossed the back side with a detailed pattern to add interest and texture. The attached oxidized sterling silver chain is 18" long and has a sterling silver lobster claw clasp for security.
Agates are a variety of Chalcedony which is a part of the Quartz family. These beautiful and picturesque inclusions are the result of iron oxide or manganese oxide. Manganese oxides result in the orange to red color and manganese oxide creates 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. It was associated with the ancient Greek dryads, which were woodland and tree spirits.
This necklace will arrive in a beautiful gift box with a free polishing cloth. Free gift wrapping is available, just convo me if you would like it wrapped. Like all my jewelry, it comes with a lifetime warranty. If it should ever need a repair, just send it to me and I will fix it and return it to you at no charge.
