Pure Agate Pendants in Sterling Silver  

Natural Agate Pendants: Banded Chalcedony Set in Silver

Agate ranks 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for regular wear in pendant settings. The stone's bands form as silica-rich water deposits layer upon layer inside gas pockets in basite and rhyolite. Major deposits occur in Brazil, Uruguay, India, and Madagascar, with each region producing distinct color patterns and band widths. Our agate pendant collection includes specimens ranging from translucent gray fortification agate to opaque moss varieties with green dendritic inclusions. The sterling silver settings protect the stone's edges while allowing light to interact with the chalcedony's natural translucency. Since 2005, we have sourced natural agate from established lapidary suppliers who cut and polish each stone to display its internal structure. These pendants pair with silver chains of varying lengths depending on your preferred placement. The neutral tones in most agate specimens coordinate with both casual and professional wardrobes.
