On a trip out west I stopped at a rock shop and made a new
friend.  The owner collected most of the rocks and knew exactly
where they came from.  The focal of this piece is turritella agate,

fossilized shells of gastropods. The beads are agatized coral,
also fossilized.  The necklace is 21", the hand fabricated silver
and cabochon, 2 1/2".  The shape of the sterling silver beads
reflects the focal piece.  The necklace is 20", the focal 2 1/2"
including the bail.  $185

silver.  The necklace measures 22", the stunning focal piece, with
