Earthly Beauty is a really beautiful, polished slice of banded Agate that I used with large, faceted Smoky Topaz beads with vintage gray beads between each Smoky Topaz with a Sterling Silver Bail and Sterling Silver Toggle. The necklace is approximately 18" and the pendant is 2 1/2".

The colors are a very rich brown into black with tan formation lines, I love using the stones that have this beauty.
