An inspiring choice this antique Romanesque styled seal ring reflects a 19th century obsession with Classical cultures. The Agate signifying strength; this gentle oval looks impressive upon the hand, the traditional design showing the owner's interest in history.

Bloodstone and Dendritic Agate are both types of chalcedony (quartz) which can be semi translucent and feature intriguing natural moss or fern like inclusions formed from the presence of manganese or iron oxides trapped during the stone's formation. Both can be found in Scotland, particularly Lunan Bay in Angus and on the Isle of Skye. This example shows aspects of both. We have had the gorgeous specimen stone re-polished to a smooth gleam by our clever lapidarist.
