Brazilian agate geode with lid
PUMI2541
This Brazilian agate geode with a cauldron-effect lid is a unique collector's item, combining the natural beauty of geological formations with a touch of craftsmanship and symbolism.
Brazil has exceptional geological diversity, with formations rich in silica, a key component of agates. The southern regions of Brazil, such as the state of Rio Grande do Sul, have specific geological conditions. Agate geodes form in cavities left by gas bubbles in volcanic rocks. Over time, these cavities fill with silica, which crystallises to form agate bands. Brazil has a long tradition of extracting and processing agates. Local craftsmen have developed unique expertise in cutting and polishing geodes to reveal their inner beauty.
