Agate Triangle Necklace
1” agate triangle pendant on 19” white satin cord with clasp. Cut is in the round with curved edges and a live edge bottom. The stone has whispy, translucent layers with a more interesting depth of color than I could photograph.
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.
