Agate Slice Christmas Ornament - Silver Plated Edge, 8 Colors

Hold an agate slice up to the tree lights and its bands light up from behind. These freeform ornaments are trimmed in silver and come with a matching string, so they are ready to hang the moment you open them.

Choose one color to match your tree, or mix several for a jewel toned look. They also hang beautifully in a window or on a gift as a keepsake tag. An agate ornament makes a lasting gift for a first Christmas in a new home, a teacher, a coworker or a crystal lover, and because no two slices are the same, it is a little different from every other ornament on the branch.

Each ornament is an agate slice in its own freeform shape. Size and banding vary; the photo in hand shows the typical size.

About Agate

Agate is a translucent, banded variety of microcrystalline quartz. Its bands form as silica is deposited layer by layer inside a rock cavity, and some cavities end up lined with sparkling druzy crystals. Agate is slightly porous, so it takes dye well, which is how most vividly colored agate in the trade is made.
