Three agate slices cut from the same specimen make a matched set, with dark banding moving through white and gray from one slice to the next.
Because they share a source, the pattern carries across all three, so they read as a family when lined up on a shelf, fanned on a coffee table or propped in a window. Each slice is thin enough to let light through the paler bands. Use them as a base for a small crystal arrangement or as blanks for wall art and other craft projects.
About Agate Slices
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. Larger agates are cut into slices with circular diamond saws, which is why consecutive slices from one stone show the same pattern shifting gradually.
Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.
