Description from the seller
Wood and Steel Artistic Base — An intriguing agate nodule that has been carefully cut and polished to highlight its unique characteristics. This specimen was collected in Agouim, a renowned locality in Morocco, famous for its production of several formations of agate and jasper. Moroccan Agate presents a fascinating and distinctive structure. As is typical of agates, the stone usually shows natural fractures and its center is composed mainly of white quartz. However, what makes this agate particularly interesting are the bands of vivid colors that run through it. It is possible to find red, yellow and brown bands that create a variety of unique patterns. These bands can be characterized by feather, tube, and eye patterns, adding further charm and complexity to the stone. Measurements refer to the bare mineral.
