Agate

Agate 

From the delicate blue and white ribbons of blue lace agate to the bold patterns of polished slabs, this collection celebrates the variety of color and texture found in agate. Explore natural specimens, polished pieces, and carvings, each showing a different side of the stone.

Agate is a form of chalcedony best known for its banding. The layers can run in fine parallel lines, curve around a hollow center, or shift gradually from one shade to the next. A polished face can reveal patterns hidden beneath a rough exterior, while thinner edges may glow when held to the light. Some specimens open into pockets lined with tiny, sparkling crystals.

Look closely and you’ll find details that give each piece its character, from a single thread of color along a band to the contrast between a rugged outer surface and a smooth, translucent interior.
