AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This beautiful sphere was carved from a special formation of natural agate from Madagascar, a mineral known for its rich variety of colors and fascinating internal structures. The warm tones of red, orange, and pink blend with darker veins and greenish shades, creating a very aesthetic effect. The presence of quartz crystallizations is noticeable, developing within sections of the stone, adding a touch of brilliance and depth to the mineral composition.
Agate was formed through a millennia-old geological process, during which silica slowly deposited within rock cavities, creating the extraordinary veins and mineral inclusions that make this stone unique. The result is a sphere that encapsulates the primordial energy of the Earth, perfect for those who love minerals and desire an object of great aesthetic and collectible value.
N.B. The ring is not included in the lot and was only used for photos.
