This gem material is amazing - nature doing something a little bit special.  The very close, thin bands in this type of agate split light as it passes through the material, showing you the spectral colours of white light - science & beauty in one gem!

I have in mind an open back setting in a pendant on a long chain so that the wearer can lift it up & play with their own personal rainbow whenever they feel like it - I love a piece of jewellery that has that little hidden secret, just for the wearer.

The slice is thin to allow the close bands in the agate to split the light out into the rainbow colours you see.  Something to also entertain my fellow gemmologists, this is a lovely little time waster & comes in the floating frame so you can play with it to your heart's content.
