Dragon Collar - Gemstone necklace - Folksy

Shared by Rase in the Jewellery


Product Description:

OOAK gemstone necklace featuring gorgeous faceted fire agate ovals matched with lava stone coins and faceted black agate rondelles. Clasp and findings are all sterling silver. The necklace measures 18" in length. Many Agates originate in cavities of molten rock, where gas bubbles trapped in solidifying lava are replaced with alkali and silica bearing solutions. Formed as a banded round nodule (similar to the rings of a tree trunk) the gem boasts an exquisite assortment of shapes and colours of bands, which may be seen clearly if a lapidarist cuts the sections at a right angle to the layers: this is sometimes referred to as Riband Agate.

Other types of Agate include Onyx (Onyx is almost always a dyed Agate), Sardonyx, Ring Agate (encompassing bands of different colours), Moss Agate (with green banding), Blue Lace Agate, Turritella Agate, Snake Skin Agate, Rainbow Agate and Fire Agate.
