These dyed agate earrings have a beautiful sparkly iridescent sheen and natural imperfections showing off an internal crystalline geode structure. While I do not normally use dyed stones for metaphysical work, agates do promote focus, balance, and grounding regardless of coloration or patterning. To be completely honest, I made these because the beads were shiny and produced the serotonin. Please note: -These are real, natural cuts of stone, so each pair will have its own natural variations. Our listings include a photo of several pieces to give you an idea of what kind of variations to expect. The beads used in the piece you receive will not be perfectly identical to the ones in the display images. -The metal used in any beads or findings is artificially colored and are actually steel or aluminum alloys. -We offer 'free' shipping so that the price displayed on our listing is the total price you pay and there are no surprise fees due to how Makerplace currently sorts and displays listings. Our online prices reflect business costs associated with the shipping process. If you follow us on Facebook, we encourage you to visit us in person at local fairs for lower prices and special sales.
