Golden agate slice from Brazil 38cm high

This slice of agate, extracted from the rich deposits of Brazil, is distinguished by its deep black border, elegantly highlighted by shades of flame brown. The natural patterns of the agate create harmonious, flowing curves that evoke an almost living movement through the stone.
The heart of the piece is marked by an openwork area, offering a striking contrast between the translucency of the inner layers and the opacity of the border. This phenomenon results from the crystallisation of silica in volcanic cavities, where the layers have formed slowly over millions of years.
Mounted on a black base, this slice reveals all its natural beauty when the light shines through it, adding depth and warmth to its patterns.
