This Washington State Carnelian Agate necklace was handmade for a man or woman who enjoys unique style. Compliment this necklace with an earth tone outfit or gift it to someone who loves Agate jewelry.
This necklace was completely handcrafted by me (Kahlia) in Washington State from my school bus work studio. It was hand sawed out of raw sheet metal and soldered together using metalsmithing techniques. The designs were made using different texturing tools. I collected the Carnelian Agate in Southern Washington and then cut and polished it for this pendant.
Carnelian is a variety of Chalcedony, a type of Quartz, and has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a very durable gemstone. Carnelian can be found in an array of reds, oranges, yellows and browns. It's found in areas with volcanic activity so it is abundant in the Southwest region of Washington near Mt. St. Helen's. Carnelian is associated with the sun, bringing courage and strength to the wearer, and is the perfect secondary birthstone for the zodiac sign Leo.
A lot of love went into making this piece and there won't be another one like it!
