Lost Marbles Glass Necklace, Akro Agate Slag Glass, W/O agate_silver_ring Natural pink agates are rareThis beautiful necklace is made from slag glass that was collected at the Akro Agate factory site after the company went out of business. This type of glass is known as marble cullet and is the remnants of famous antique marble runs.
