These drop earrings feature gorgeous pieces of Moss Agate mounted on hand-forged 14k-gold bails with solid 14k-gold ear wires.
Moss Agate is a type of Chalcedony, which is a volcanic rock. The "Moss" is created by green veins of chlorite in milky quartz.
Moss agate was widely used in European religious rituals for purification and casting away evil. It has been used by some cultures as a talisman to protect the wearer from physical harm and to increase longevity when going into battle. People also used Moss Agate around the doors and windows of their homes to ward off spiders, scorpions, and other unwanted visitors.
Earring drop measures 7/8" from the bottom of the ear wire.
