Brazilian agates are among the nicest of the agates, and this stone is no exception. Beautifully cut to show off its cream and gold center with radiating bands of warm caramel, this pendant is sure to be noticed. I've border wrapped it in gold-filled filigree wire with a swirl that dips over the bail and rests in a curl over the top of the stone. Treat someone special to this one-of-a-kind gift or buy it for yourself. Shaped like a shiels, the pendant measures 2 3/8" from the top of the bail and is 1 1/4" wide. Note: Agate is a form of chalcedony, often banded, that comes in an amazing variety of colors. It forms by filling a cavity in a host rock. Although agate is found all over the world, the most exceptional specimens come from Southern Brazil and Northern Uruguay. Brazilian agate is mined from eroded lava beds in the Brazil plateaus. This agate displays a rainbow of colors primarily derived from iron. The colors are usually reds, browns end yellows in multi-layered bands and plumes. Intricate whorls and eye patterns also identify this gemstone. Agates have long been thought to cure everything from emotional pain to insomnia. Enjoy this unique piece of hand-crafted jewelry.
