A few new pendants in Green Moss Agate, Lapis Lazuli and Lattice Lace Agate. Set in Sterling Silver
Green moss agate has a long history of use in ancient cultures for its perceived divine and healing powers. The ancient Romans used it in lotions and ointments. Historically known as “Mocha Stone” after the Arabian city of Mocha, it was also revered by farmers in 18th-century Britain as a “good luck stone” for ensuring successful harvests. Additionally, it was valued by Native Americans to control the weather. Today, its unique patterns make it a popular choice for jewelry, particularly for those who appreciate its connection to nature.
Lattice lace agate, also known as crazy lace agate, was formed in northern Mexico’s Chihuahua region during the Cretaceous period. This period was roughly 65–90 million years ago. Its history includes ancient use by pre-Hispanic inhabitants for endurance and courage, a formal rediscovery by American geologists in the 1950s, and modern appreciation for its unique patterns and perceived healing energies.
Lapis lazuli has a long history spanning over 6,500 years. It originated in mines in Afghanistan that supplied ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Sumerians, and Mesopotamians. It was highly valued for its deep blue color, used in religious ceremonies, jewelry, and as the original source for the precious ultramarine pigment. Lapis lazuli was associated with the divine, royalty, and truth across many cultures. It remained a valuable commodity until the 19th century when a synthetic alternative was created
