Vintage Dendritic Agate Disc Pendant
What landscape do you see in this agate pendant?
Lichen on a decomposing log on the woodland floor? An aerial view of a river delta spilling dark water into the ocean after drenching rain upstream? A smoky forest as a wildfire passes through?
For me, I’m leaning over the shallow end of of pier, looking into the tannin-stained marsh water. It’s been a dry summer, so the water is still and clear. I can see every detail of the algae and oyster shell covered rocks.
Handmade in a simple sterling silver bezel.
