• Montana Agate, locally sourced & one of a kind.• Handcrafted thick fine silver bezel setting. • 18” sterling silver wheat chain (chain style may be changed upon request.) ——————————————— >> More about this piece... ✔️ Every Montana Agate is truly one-of-a-kind, with its own patterns and colors, each one it’s own small world contained within a highly polished surface. ✔️ This thick silver frame is both beautiful and durable...and also very labor-intensive to craft. A thick sterling bezel takes about 5 times longer to create than a more traditional thinner bezel, and the higher price price point reflects this longer labor of love. It is worth it, however, for a one-of-a-kind piece that will stand the test of time. ✔️ Unlike turquoise, agates cannot be mined or “claimed.” Anyone can go out and find them! ✔️ Montana agate was formed with the help of the prehistoric volcanoes in the Yellowstone area...over the span of hundreds of miles and millions of years. It is only found in a specific stretch of the Yellowstone River, part of which isn’t too far from where I live. ——————————————— This piece will arrive in a box ready for gift giving, along with a small polishing cloth and Bluffs Edge sticker.
