AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carnelian Agate Sphere and Freeform – Polished Decorative Set
An attractive set of two polished Carnelian Agate specimens, composed of a sphere and a freeform, both displaying a rich palette of peach, cream, orange and deep carnelian-red tones.
The sphere shows especially attractive agate banding, with delicate concentric and flowing patterns visible across the polished surface. Soft pinkish and creamy areas alternate with warmer orange zones and deeper reddish sections, creating a refined and highly decorative appearance.
The freeform presents a bolder composition, with broader translucent areas of orange and cream crossed by intense carnelian-red zones. Natural internal fractures, darker mineral areas and small cavities add depth and individuality to the piece, while the high-gloss polish enhances the contrast between the different colours and structures.
Together, the two specimens complement each other particularly well: the sphere emphasizes the rhythmic banding typical of agate, while the freeform highlights the stronger carnelian coloration and a more sculptural, organic appearance.
The freeform measures 12 × 7.2 × 5.3 cm and weighs 725 g. The sphere has a diameter of 8.7 cm and weighs 905 g.
A very appealing polished set, appreciated for its warm carnelian colour, natural agate banding, translucency and elegant decorative presence.
