A Flower or a Lake Superior Agate 067

This is an unusual Matte finished Lake Superior Agate set on a fluted, hand textured sterling back piece. The beautifully banded stone reminds us of a delicate flower that grows along the edge of one of the local forest roads. This is a piece you will want to wear everyday.

LAKE SUPERIOR AGATE

Agates are a gemstone with a hardness of 7, harder than Basalt or Rhyolite. Beautiful banding, varied patterns, and eye-catching colors unique to each agate are created by quartz with small amounts of different elements. Red bands are the result of the rusting of iron within the agate when exposed to oxygen. These gemstones can be found on many Lake Superior beaches throughout the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Properties: Good for security, strength, to raise energy and to enhance personal courage and calming.
