At 245 × 200 × 25 mm it has proper weight and presence as a decorative specimen — equally at home on a plinth or a studio desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntreated, undyed — the pale blue tone is how the stone formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Agate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is a fine-grained variety of silica (chalcedony) first described by the Ancient Greeks on the banks of the Achates River in Sicily — the river gave the stone its name. It forms inside gas cavities in volcanic rock as mineral-rich water slowly deposits layers of silica, producing agate's characteristic concentric banding. Brazilian agate is particularly prized for its fine grain and brilliance when polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Brazilian agate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 245 × 200 × 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.00 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished both sides, untreated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural light blue with banding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agt 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a unique, one-of-a-kind specimen.
