Description

First of all - YES, this is natural! Of course I could say some funny things about anatomic assoziations, but the most unusual Agate I ever saw. It was a discovery from autumn 2021, which didn´t reach the common market. The whole discovery included 3000 specimen, at least 2500 were not of good quality, broken, too strong etched, not well formed, very small etc. Around 400 specimen were in better quality and only around 100 pieces were on higher standard and out of this 100 I selected the 12 best ones. All specimen are „wind-cut“; sand and wind during ages drag away the more soft areas of the agate and as result of these process we got these treasures, with extreme crazy habits. The particular specimen shows a light cap set on a very thin elongated red base. A very easthetic specimen!
