The stone is a magnificent autumnal colored agate with sparkling inclusions of marcasite! The color gradient in the stone perfectly shifts from a dark red to a vibrant yellow and ending in a pale white. The backside of the pendant holds a cast sterling silver leaf, the organic shapes preserved in metal. Above the leaf is my maker's mark (BLJ). The silver leaf has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. The pendant measures 1.25 tall and  0.8" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
