RED AGATE BRACELET (Sadie)


Red Agate is a natural agate. Semi-transparent with shades of orange and red. Red Agate is found mainly in Brazil and Madagascar.Agates are semi-precious gemstones that are a variegated form of chalcedony which is silicon dioxide in the form of microscopic fibrous quartz crystals. Agates naturally develop when an empty pocket inside a host rock fills in molecule-by-molecule, layer-by-layer as these microcrystals self organize to form concentric bands or other patterns. The colors and arrangement of the microcrystals are influenced by changes in pressure, temperature, and mineral content that occur during the formation process. Unlike other gemstones, each agate is unique. Even slabs cut from the same specimen will vary in color and design.
When chalcedony is red (the stone usually has to be heated to bring out the color), it is called carnelian, the most popular single bead gemstone.
Carnelian ranges in color from a dark brown (also known as sard), to a red, an orange, and even a yellow shade.
The Sadie Designer Bracelet was created with the best in natural Deep Red Agates, oval and smooth round semi prescious gemstones. Deep Red faceted Carnelian gemstones accentuate the beauty of the double-stranded Designer Bracelet. The focal, is a Deep Orange-Red Agate twisted, faceted, gemstone. The double-stranded Designer Bracelet is drenched in 24k Gold Vermeil beads and embellishments, mostly from Bali, and is finished with a 14k Gold filled toggle clasp with a 24k Gold Vermeil filligree bead dangle.
