Iridescent agate slices – Brazil
PUMI2726
These two iridescent agate slices come from Brazil, where volcanic cavities allowed layers of silica to solidify over time with a rare iridescent effect.
Each slice, polished on both sides, reveals translucent bands with subtle iridescence created by light scattering through microscopic layers of silica.
Displayed side by side like butterfly wings, they are set inside a small iron cage. This composition blurs the line between geology and entomology, turning a mineral curiosity into a poetic object — a contemporary echo of the cabinet of curiosities tradition.
