Mark the ends of the string where they meet. Straighten the string and use a ruler to measure the distance between the two marks. This measurement will be your ideal necklace length.> <Gemstone Trivia> The Chalcedony Agate Family: South Red Agate The agate, crystal, and chalcedony we often hear about are all members of the quartz family. Their primary component is silicon dioxide (SiO2). However, due to differences in their crystalline structures, those with distinct crystalline forms are called crystals, while those with less apparent crystalline structures are called chalcedony (agate is a type of chalcedony, specifically referring to chalcedony with layered or irregular banded patterns). South Red Agate, historically known as "crimson jade," possesses a celebratory, beautiful red hue and a lustrous, oily surface. Common colors of South Red Agate include orange-red, deep red, and pinkish-orange. When polished, South Red Agate exhibits a bright luster, making it a beautiful agate!
