Description from the seller
Sphere with botryoidal cavity in agate – a natural structure rich in details.
A sphere that seems to open a small internal world. The outer surface, soft in its cream, pink, and gray tones, gives way to a wide cavity where botryoidal growth manifests in perfect forms: clusters of compact micro-spherules, from milky white to soft pink, illuminated by internal reflections that light up in the presence of light.
The structure is typical of agate with secondary botroidal development, a slow and silent process that occurs in rock cavities, where silica-rich solutions deposit layer after layer of small crystalline spheres. The result is a material and organic interior, almost a mineral landscape enclosed within a few centimeters.
The elegance of this piece lies in its contrasts: the smooth, matte, and variegated outer surface contrasts with the more translucent and lively internal texture, forming a natural sculpture that invites close inspection. It is an ideal specimen for collectors who appreciate the spontaneous architectures of minerals, perfect for a modern Wunderkammer or as an eye-catching object in a collection of unique geodes and agates.
