Tiny crystals and black snowflakes in a Sterling Silver pendant satin Nearly 100 years old andAgates with little crystal filled pockets in them are uncommon but not scarce. This example, from India, ups the ante. Small florets of black dendrites sprinkle the surface in addition to the tiny sparkling crystals that line the central cavity. In the unique, articulated Sterling Silver mounting I created for this piece, I included a small stone of Amazonite as an accent.
