Milk Agate Drop Necklace
Large 2 1/4” milky dendritic agate with live edge on adjustable cord. Cut is in the round, oval teardrop and I just can’t with how beautiful this one is. There’s an incredible depth and shine to the stone and the yellow live edge just sets it off beautifully.
Unusual colors and markings of agate made it very highly regarded by the ancients and it was revered throughout history until the present. According to Pliny the Elder, agate was believed to make its wearers “agreeable and persuasive and give them god’s favor.” In the middle of the 1800’s, amulets made from eye agate (brown or black agate with a white ring in the center) were so popular that agate cutters in Germany had no time to cut anything else. The eye was believed to take on the watchfulness of one’s guardian spirit and to protect the wearer from the evil eye.
