Black and translucent agate drops, amethyst and onyx beads. Sterling silver fishhooks. 6 inches long.
I only use the best quality and heavy duty silver fishhook earrings to ensure quality. These are NOT fake plated silver earrings that can cause allergies or infections.
One-of-a-kind. Every gemstone is different and I won’t be able to buy another one the same as the black agate drop in this earring.
25mm x 15mm black agate stone, 6mm amethyst beads, 4mm onyx beads.
The earrings are about 2 inches long.
Agate is a microcrystalline variety of quartz (silica), chiefly chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. Although agates may be found in various kinds of rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks but can be common in certain metamorphic rocks [...]
Most agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas where they represent cavities originally produced by the disengagement of volatiles in the molten mass which were then filled, wholly or partially, by siliceous matter deposited in regular layers upon the walls. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity, giving a banded appearance to the section. Such stones are known as banded agate, riband agate and striped agate.
