This stone can be found along the Piedra and San Juan Rivers in southwest Colorado.   This stone captures a sense prevalent in the southwest-a sense of walking where people and creatures from a far earlier time had also walked.   Everything about this agate speaks of something far older and more lasting than we are.   The word agate comes from the Sicilian Achates River where agates were found in antiquity.   The grey and white swirls through these beads give them a lovely time-aged mottled effect.  This stone has magnetic properties is credited with removing anxiety from the body.   The necklace measures 19 inches in length the pendant is suspended with Bali silver beads, 6mm fossil agate round beads, and closes with a silver swivel lobster clasp.
