This gorgeous crazy lace agate necklace was handmade in my Denver studio. The agate was sourced while travelling (that's where I find most of my stones!) in the hills outside Rapid City, South Dakota. The pendant with bail measures about 1 3/4" in length and 1 1/4", making it a substantial piece to see! The banded colors of browns, oranges, and reds are swoon-worthy! The chain as well as the pendant are made from 925 sterling silver, and have been lightly oxidized to create a more dramatic effect. The chain, with handmade artful clasp, measures 17" in length, but can be shortened upon request. It is said that agate transforms negative energy into positive energy. It also enhances mental function, improves concentration, enhances perception and analytical abilities. It is a soothing and calming gemstone that heals inner anger, anxiety and helps in the strengthening of relationships. Agate instills security and safety. Wow! Besides being beautiful, that's reason enough to get this baby delivered to your doorstep right away!
