Slice of Agate (Brazil)
PUMI1856-15
Originally from Brazil, this natural agate specimen displays a palette of amber, honey and warm brown tones, formed by successive deposits of silica inside a volcanic cavity.
One of its most remarkable features is the naturally open centre, which creates a window-like effect and reveals the concentric layers of this geological curiosity.
When backlit, the darker zones become translucent and take on a golden hue, emphasising the circular structure of the mineral. This kind of slice is highly sought-after in cabinet of curiosities collections, as it combines the scientific interest of a mineral specimen with a strong visual presence.
Displayed on a square brass base, the piece has been kept deliberately simple to highlight the internal structure and the light effect.
