Quartz var. Agate$900.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Lovely agate from the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil. There are numerous colorful, concentric bands in this piece and their definition is absolutely excellent. Colors include orange-brown, blue-gray, medium brown, dove gray and very thin off-white to those with a bluish hue. The colors complement and contrast each other beautifully, which accentuates the sharp banding even more. There is a small enclave crystalline clear to slightly milky Quartz off to one side that resembles a flame. The very bottom, flatter side of the piece shows several, horizontal bands. This is one of the more aesthetic patterned agates I have seen from this region, and it displays perfectly from both sides, with only the front side polished. This was a piece kept for probably decades, simply because Alvaro apparently loved the exceptionally complex banding, and was in with his personal mineral collection when we bought it.
