Description

Pink and red chalcedony agate from D.R.Congo. These specimens are very rare even in specialized Congo collections because these were never attractive for most of the colonist collectors. Found by Achiel Moors near the road to Mindingi.

It was in the collection of Achiel Moors, a Belgian mineral collector who lived in Congo between 1957 and 1972.
