This set brings together ten agate slices with ten different patterns, from crystal centers ringed by chalcedony bands to horizontal banding across the middle.
Unlike a matched set, this group gives you variety, so you can compare patterns, rotate them through a display or split them up as gifts. They range in color from gray and brown to white, cream and translucent, each polished to a bright shine, and at about 6.4 to 7.5 inches they are large enough to use as coasters, plant and candle bases or a window display where light passes through. The stand in one photo is not included. They make a thoughtful gift for a stone lover, a decorator or a crafter. These are the exact ten slices shown.
The slices are about 6.375 to 7.5 inches by 5.875 to 6.5 inches and about 0.25 inch thick. The set weighs about 3.495 kilograms.
Agate is a translucent, banded form of microcrystalline quartz. Its bands form as silica is deposited layer by layer inside a rock cavity by groundwater of changing composition, and some cavities end up as geodes with a crystal center. Slicing the nodule thin and polishing both faces shows the full pattern, and because agate is hard quartz, the polish holds up well.
Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.
