Agate at It's Best is made with huge 50mm achat slab Edelsteine Gemstones (in my research, I think this means agates from Germany). Where ever they are from you will be noticed. I used lg Black faceted Jet beads with smaller faceted black onyx beads and amethyst crystals as spacers. The big agate slabs have intrusions of purple druzy around the edges. I used a Bali Sterling Silver Toggle closure. This beauty measures approximately 24".
