Blue Glacier
Handmade Pendant for Necklaces

I've been given to understand that glaciers are often blue-green in addition to the sparkly white. So when I saw this designer agate cabochon that the lapidary artist called "Blue Glacier" I was fascinated. The cab has zones of various shades of blue-green and white, in a softly translucent agate. Yummy!

I handcrafted this pendant from the Blue Glacier agate cabochon, and .925 Sterling Silver. The pendant is approximately 2" (50 mm) long with a bail that will accommodate chains up to approximately 4 mm in size. To wear it as a necklace or brooch, you can use it with your favorite chain or add an inexpensive accessory to make it a very versatile piece of jewelry.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with harmony and healing.
