Description

This thin agate slice variant iris agate is very inconspicuous without lighting. But in transmitted light with backlit it exhibits all the colors of the spectrum, which is why it is also called rainbow agate. When you move the slice, the colors of the rainbow change continuously. This play of colors is really wonderful to see. It is reminiscent of a magical gateway to another world. Well cut and polished on both sides. First, second, fourth and fifth with lower backlit.
