High Quality 4 Row necklace with natural 6mm pink Pearls, Pink Opal irregular chips and 10mm White Agate beads with Tibetan Turtle back etching. Metal push clasp. Perfect summer necklace in soft feminine colours. Very unique necklace. Length: 45cm. The base material is natural agate, but the white pattern has been artificially applied. These are commonly sold as Tibetan Style Turtle Back Pattern Dzi Beads (sometimes called "giraffe skin" agate). While the gemstone chalcedony quartz structure is genuine, the specific surface features are manufactured through a multi-step artisanal process: Process Behind the Pattern: Natural Stone Base: The translucent gray/brown core is real, natural agate. Chemical Treatment: The distinct white outline is created using a chemical alkaline solution or dye applied directly onto the surface. Heat Etching: The beads are subsequently fired or baked at high temperatures to fuse the decorative pattern into the stone permanently. * NO SHIPPING TO THE USA* Please note the sizes of the item listed and the description, photos are not the actual size of the item.
