This is a Coffee Onyx Agate Pendant. This has a hole so you can turn it into a pendant, thread something through it or add a bail. I can also wire wrap this. I got a bunch of stones to wire wrap or turn into necklaces and I just have not had the time to do it, so I wanted to get them listed as they are in case anybody wants to turn them into a custom order.
This pendant measures 2 1/2" by 1 1/4", it weighs 22.71 grams. The banding colors on this are pretty neat, the darker shades are at the left moving right and it fades out into a light tan color at the far right with a dark strip on the farthest part of the right.
Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from black to almost every color. Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.
