About this design:
I had the African Rainbow Agate tumbled nuggets for awhile. Finally got them out and played. Rhyolite worked well and African Opal seemed to want to play too. Hmmm? A theme? I put them together but they needed something else. Madagascar Petrified Wood! Made the bail large enough to remove from the necklace if desired.
Components:
Madagascar Petrified Wood pendant, African Opal, African Rainbow Agate, Rhyolite, 20g artistic wire, SP beads and findingsAdditional Images:

Linda Talbott says:Your “playing” turned out beautifully. All the stones go together as if there were made for each other. Awesome pendant too.
