Lake Superior Tube Agate Sterling Silver Shadow Setting Necklace

This is a rare Wisconsin found Lake Superior tube agate that I found in north central Wisconsin. This stone is small but has incredible detail and depth with tubes that remind me of flowers or ocean plant life. It's really a unique stone both for it's features and colors. It has a 3D appearance with color that ranges from orange to pink. I crafted a setting as unique as the agate it holds using primarily my own hand forged and formed recycled sterling silver. The agate is in a shadow style frame. The details on the top front edge are all hand cut. I textured the bail with a pebble design and the back in a northern forest design which is fitting for this piece because I found the agate in the forest. I antiqued the silver (intentionally darkened it) before polishing it to really bring out the recessed areas in the textures I added to this piece. The stone measures about 14.5 x 9 in mm. Overall including the bail the pendant measures about 29 x 23 mm. The included chain is also solid silver and is 20 inches in length. Thank you for looking! 

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. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist.
