Disclosure: Please note that the display mannequin in the photo is about half-human scale; the necklace has been draped around the back of the mannequin to simulate how the necklace would hang. Please refer to the other photos for a picture of the entire necklace and an indication of scale. Like all of my jewelry, this necklace is not intended for use by persons under 13.
About the stones:
AGATE: Agate is a form of silicon dioxide (quartz) and is usually formed as nodules in volcanic deposits. Its characteristic banding and translucency distinguishes it from related stones in the chalcedony family. Agate is a hard stone, with a Mohs hardness of 7. Agates are supposed to make excellent “worry stones.”
QUARTZ: Quartz is silicon dioxide and is the second most common mineral in the earth’s crust. Many popular gemstones are forms of quartz, such as amethyst, carnelian, jasper and agate. Imagine a color or pattern, and there is probably a quartz to match. It is a hard mineral and takes a very good polish. White quartz, the most common variety, is sometimes called “snow quartz” or “milky quartz.”
