Moss Agate, Angels and Old Wood
Moss Agate, Angels and Old Wood
A recent trip to the Central Oregon Ochoco Mountains produced some lovely duo-tone moss agates with crisp detail. Deep olive and acid green dendrites wander through crystal clear agate. A rare Green Opal Petrified Wood 5mm cabochon rides next to an Angel Wing Plume Agate 4mm cabochon for contrast and continuity. It’s amazing the similar palette that nature uses in unique geology from different locals.
The Moss Agate is left open backed in its Fine Silver and setting to let the light shine through. The base and the bail loops are Sterling Silver as well as the hook and loop closure on the 3.5mm Greek leather cord (roughly 18”). These stones were sourced in Oregon, hand polished, and the setting fabricated from scratch by Karen Britt. Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art, because no two stones are the same and the settings are created by hand, no two pieces are the same (even the earrings). It should be mentioned that all stones are used in their natural state; never dyed or heated to change their appearance. All the metals used are either recycled or fair, humane trade verified and all components used in the jewelry will return to the earth leaving no footprint. Thank you for enjoying the art.
