I think I've had this one the longest.... The fob has two stones. One on each side... And it can be flipped over to show either. Look close and you'll see where it swivels. Not sure what the stones are. Blood stone???

Love the colours in the Agate...:-)
Thanks Hunter, inky, birdie, and pops52!!
Thanks a bunch AmberRose!!!
Thanks kerry and roy!!!
Thanks nldionne!!
Thanks again Phil and Bell!!
If I am right I would say that the stones are Agate. Agate comes in almost any color combination you can dream up. This is very nice.
Thanks JayHow! I love it too!!
I love this...these are Agates and they are what you call "hardstone Agate"...they only use the stones that have the straight lines like a sandwich (red/white ) across the stone for Cameo's. When they are like this (not straight lines) They turn them into flat stones for ring and brooches or lockets. Very Cool!!
Thanks for the love strawberry and Moonstonelover21!! And thanks for the info Moonstone, JayHow, and kevin!!!
Thanks petey!! You too Kevin! Love the agate...
