Description from the seller
A large slice of agate derived from a big geode. This slice has significant collectible value as well as decorative appeal. Geode slices of this size are increasingly used in interior design, as natural elements that add great charm and elegance to spaces.
This large slice of agate shows its entire natural matrix on the outer part, like a 'crust' within which white and transparent crystals develop. In the center, there is a large cavity filled with sparkling crystals.
The slice has a height of 78 cm, but when mounted on a metal structure, it reaches a height of 95 cm and a width of 46 cm.
Agate is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and belongs to the quartz family. Agate geodes form when aqueous solutions rich in silica and dissolved minerals enter cavities within rocks. Over time, these solutions cool and deposit in concentric layers, giving rise to the characteristic bands of agate.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
