Matte Black Fire Agate
About this design:
I got this great matte black fire agate pendant from Lima Beads and held onto it until I came across these matte finish banded black agate rounds. I mixed with Botswana agate rondelles. The toggle is from TierraCast at Lima beads also.
Components:
10mm matte black agate rounds, black fire agate pendant from LB, Botswana agate 8mm rondelles, TierraCast beaded toggle from LimaBeadsAdditional Images:
