Tumbled Carnelian Agate Pendant with Waxed Cord

This item is a handcrafted pendant featuring a semi-precious carnelian agate gemstone. The stone is shaped into a rounded, square cabochon with a soft, polished finish. It exhibits a distinct bicolored pattern: one half displays a deep, translucent reddish-orange typical of carnelian, while the other half shows a cream-to-tan semi-opaque matrix with a small dark inclusion near the top. Surface texture appears smooth, indicating a tumbling and polishing process. The gemstone is drilled and attached to a simple silver-toned metal jump ring. It hangs from a black, tightly-braided waxed cotton or synthetic cord with a secure slip knot. Dimensionally, the stone appears to be approximately 15mm to 20mm in width. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps on the stone or the bail, suggesting a modern, artisan-made or mass-produced craft piece. Condition is excellent with no visible chips or fractures, displaying the natural organic variations of the chalcedony family. The style is bohemian and minimalist, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present contemporary era.
