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. It is reminiscent of a rainbow, 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. Well cut and polished on both sides. First, second, fourth and fifth photo with low backlit. Undoubtedly one of the best pieces I've seen in recent years.
