AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here is an extraordinary formation of botroidal agate that creates a combination of small spheres grouped radially, in a lively violet color ranging from intense violet to delicate lavender. This ensemble is enriched with hints of green celadonite, which gives the structure a magnificent three-dimensionality and an enchanting luster. Additionally, rare additional quartz crystals can be observed, further embellishing the composition. When viewing the agate through magnification, one can appreciate the crystallized finish similar to a druzy on each individual sphere. This exceptional specimen comes from Sulawesi, Indonesia.
