Golden agate slice on brass base
PUMI1548-3
Golden agate from Brazil, on brass base. Cut into thin slices, it becomes translucent and lets light pass through. It is also quite remarkable in photo 7: it will make this effect whenever it is in front of a window or other light source... Its composition is rare because it has "filled" around nucleus, and water charged with iron oxides, among other things, deposited a layer at each big change of temperature, by evaporation. A true textile pattern.
