AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

It is a Victorian pendant from the mid-1800s made of solid silver with an oval moss agate cabochon set in it.
Moss agate is a semi-precious gemstone, a variety of chalcedony with mineral inclusions (often manganese or iron) that create patterns resembling moss or ferns.
It is not a true agate in the scientific sense because it does not display the typical concentric bands of that mineral.
The stone is very durable, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5-7, making it suitable for jewelry.
This type of agate has been used for ornamental purposes for centuries and is often cut into flat shapes or cabochons like the one shown.
Weighs 10.5 g.
Good condition as shown in the photo, small crack on the item in the photo.
