Pretty Petrified Pendant

Available for sale at the Rothwell Gallery in Ottawa.

This piece is named for the gemstone which is Petrified Indonesian Blue Agate. It is a rare stone and only found in one area where an old growth forest was buried when a volcano erupted millenia ago. The trees petrified below the surface and created these amazingly colourful gemstones. I am very lucky to know a rock hound gem cutter who has access to this material. The additional stones are Carnelian (orange), Turquoise and Hematite (at the top).
