The dreamy dentritic agate that is the focal point of this unique ring has inclusions that resemble thistles and asters in a wild garden. It is set in a 14k gold-fill bezel on a te xtured sterling silver base plate. The band is made from a wide piece of low sterling silver flat wire that has been lightly textured to give it an organic feel. The width of the band measures ~8 mm. Size 7.75 This ring features a rare form of dendritic agate, also called Shazar stone, that is found exclusively in the Ken River in the Banda district of India. It is characterized by its organic inclusions that paint images of breathtaking natural landscapes. The name Shazar comes from the Arabic word “Sazar”, meaning tree. The fascinating inclusions are formed when two or more chalcedony stones trap a piece of fossilized fungus, and the fungus produces an acid or base secretion that causes the agate to become translucent and simultaneously bind it all together. Different colors may appear in Shazar stone, such as black and orange-red, and are caused by inclusions of iron and manganese. Some refer to Shazar stone as the Stone of Plentitude and believe it brings abundance and richness in all areas of life. Show more
