Lake Superior Agate retailer Necklace - One of a kind

This beautiful stone was handpicked from a rock pit near Moose Lake in Minnesota. It was custom cut and carved into the shape of Minnesota. This stone is a Lake Superior Agate, with natural banding in it. The stone measures approximately 1" by 1" at the widest points. The necklace is a quality sterling silver chain 18" long.

This item is a one of a retailer kind, custom design. I created this in my lapidary studio from the start of the raw rough rock to the polished and cut piece you see here.

The Lake Superior agate is a type of agate stained by iron and found on the shores of Lake Superior. Its wide distribution and iron-rich bands of color reflect the gemstone's geologic history in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In 1969 the Lake Superior agate was designated by the Minnesota Legislature as the official state gemstone.
