Description from the seller
Carnelian Slice (Red Agate) Polished - Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - Collectible Mineral for Display
Product description:
For sale a splendid and spectacular slice of Carnelian (red agate chalcedony variety) from the renowned deposits of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil, a locality famed worldwide for the extraordinary quality of its nodules and geodes.
The piece stands out for a geometrically elegant stratification of concentric bands. The coloration is warm and deep, characterized by intense shades of fire red, burnt earth, and carmine orange, alternating with lighter, translucent lines.
At the center of the specimen opens a magnificent fissure entirely filled with a growth of compact quartz crystals in white and cream tones, creating a focal point of light and an exceptional tactile contrast.
The front face of the mineral has been professionally cut and mirror-polished to maximize the brilliance of the bands, the depth of color, and the natural translucencies of chalcedony. The upper edges and the back retain the original rough surface of the rock matrix, offering a fascinating contrast between the natural state and the artistic workmanship. A decorative piece perfect as an interior design element or as a centerpiece in a collection of aesthetic minerals.
Technical details and provenance:
• Primary mineral: Chalcedony (Carnelian / Red Agate variety)
• Central element: Quartz crystal
• Locality of discovery: Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
• Processing: Mirror-cut and polished on the front face
