About the stone: Agate
Part of the chalcedony family, agate comes in numerous varieties, each with its own character. With intriguing plays of transparency, striking ribbons of color, and fern-like dendrites formed from traces of iron and manganese, each stone is singular. No two pieces repeat, part of its intrinsic charm.

About the stone: Opal
Pliny the Elder called opal the gem that carries all others inside it. Ancient Greeks believed they fell from heaven in flashes of lightning. From Australian boulder, Lightning Ridge black, Ethiopian crystal, to Mexican fire, to Peruvian pink, opals are full of mystery, evoking nebulae, the depths of the sea, and wonders yet-to-be-discovered. No two flash alike.
