Description

Named after Hel, the Norse queen of the dead, whose body was said to be divided between the living and the dead, half vital and half consumed by shadow. The deep black of the agate is her hidden realm, and the druzy window catches the light exactly the way something precious does when it is not meant to be seen.

Stone: Druzy Agate

Wire: Tarnish-resistant silver-plated copper

About Druzy Agate

• Druzy forms when mineral-rich water slowly evaporates inside a hollow agate, leaving behind a crust of tiny crystals on the inner surface.

• The contrast between the smooth outer stone and the glittering interior is entirely natural; no two are alike.

• Black agate is associated with protection and quiet strength, which sits well alongside something that glitters from the inside out.
