This unusual gemstone is Blooming Orchid Agate: genuine Banded Agate that has been treated with chemicals and heat to create beautiful radiant variegated fuchsia and purply-pink colorations. Because the patterns and banding naturally found in Agate gemstones have different levels of porosity, the layers take color differently. The (permanent) result is spectacularly beautiful gemstones like the ones used in these earrings.
