Industrial Revolution Landscape Agate Brooch silver Shibayama jewellery is often foundAn utterly remarkable agate specimen brooch with what's known as a 'Landscape Agate'. But this one's somewhat different to any I've seen before: it's an industrial dystopian hell scape agate with a city, a dense urban jungle, visible in the distance spewing out dark smoke behind a grey, desolate wasteland. The stone rests in an silver collet mount with applied rope twist border Era: Victorian, circa 1900 Size: 3. 4cm by 4. 5cm Stone: Landscape Agate
