Wonderful example of agate from the Gobi Dessert. This specimen is naturally sandblasted which gives it its unique appearence and look. The first picture is done with additional backlight to expose the incredible satturated colours which are kept in a reddish to orange with some brownish accents as well. The formation reminds of a worm or a snail which gives a super unique and incredible look to the specimen.
