Each small formation has its own fixed place here. This piece of jewelry captivates with its raw, natural form.

About the stone
This specimen is a natural combination of two minerals: layered agate, a variety of chalcedony, and cubic pyrite crystals that have grown on its surface—iron sulfide. This type of intergrowth forms in rock cavities, where the two minerals crystallize one after the other. The arrangement of golden crystals on the dark, greenish-black agate base is nature’s work—no two stones from the same formation are ever identical.

Care
Due to the presence of pyrite, avoid contact between the ring and water. Clean it only with a dry, soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
