Lake Superior Agate Necklace, Heart of Superior

This is an amazing Minnesota found Lake Superior agate that I cut and shaped into a large heart. This agate features incredible banding, tubes, eye features and an area of clear quartz near the bottom left. The agate was a peeler type as well. This stone is not cosmetically perfect but is so amazing that in this case I find that doesn't matter. It's as nature intended and made it I just brought out it's beauty in the shaping of it. The top of the stone is lightly domed. It's a really nice deep orange with high contrast white banding. The stone is held by an inverted heart gallery bezel. I crafted the back of this pendant using recycled silver sheet that I made myself. The back is textured with a pebble like design and a cut out window in the shape of Lake Superior. I hand stamped the outside edge of the setting. I crafted the setting in solid sterling silver. The included chain is 20 inches in length. I hand crafted the setting in solid sterling silver. I antiqued the silver setting (intentionally darkened). The pendant measures about 1.63 inches or 40 mm tall including the bail and about 1.22 inches wide. This necklace is sure to be noticed!

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures.We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors.
