Moss Agate Desert Dusk Necklace

Moss agate is a chalcedony with dendritic inclusions of chlorite or hornblende that read as moss, landscape, or something caught between the two. The stone is translucent to semi-opaque. No banding. The green shifts by stone depending on inclusion density and depth.

Eleven agate squares descend in a tapered grid across the collar, set in teal and copper metallic beadwork with orange accent rows. Small blue glass teardrops hang from the lower edge. At center, a single agate square suspends above a large green glass teardrop drop.

Pair with a deep green jumpsuit, a cream shirt dress, or a tobacco linen tunic. Weddings, gallery openings, or any night the structure does the work.
