Agate is a mineral formed by tiny little layers of cryptocrystalline quartz, chalcedony and opal. The product represents a rough piece of agate cut in half; the front side has been polished and the bottom side has been cut and smoothed out in order to make stone stand solidly. Thanks to this treatment, the unique patterns and regular banded lines typical for this agate can stand out. Some varieties also have tiny cavities filled with little crystals of quartz. Our agates are from large mines in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.

The intensity of agate patterns is often boosted by dyeing. However, this agate has not been dyed and therefore it retains its natural look.

Use: Agate with cut base can be a charming interior decoration or an original paperweight.
