Description from the seller
This is a polished banded agate piece mounted on a black metal base. Agate is a variety of chalcedony, which in turn is a microcrystalline form of quartz.
It is characterized by its multicolored concentric bands.
It forms in cavities of volcanic rocks from silica-rich solutions that solidify over millions of years.
Seller's Story
Welcome to my little corner of Katawiki, where the past comes alive! Since childhood, I've been fascinated by the mysteries hidden beneath our feet. What began as a childhood love for rocks and fossils has grown into a passion for finding, studying, and sharing the incredible pieces of Earth's history.
Every fossil in my shop is carefully selected, ethically sourced, and handled with the respect and admiration these ancient treasures deserve. Whether it's a mosasaur, a plesiosaur, a skull, or a skeleton, each fossil holds a story forged over millions of years, and now it can be a part of yours.
My goal is to bring the magic of prehistory to collectors, nature lovers, classrooms, and anyone who enjoys holding a piece of time in their hands. I believe fossils are more than just objects: they are reminders of our planet's incredible journey. Thank you for supporting my little shop and my passion. I hope you discover something here that inspires curiosity, fills you with joy, or becomes a treasured gift.
