Banded Agate Sphere - One of a Kind, Polished, 2.8 Inch

Agate records its history in bands, and this polished sphere shows them off in earthy tones that wrap all the way around.

Its smooth finish adds depth to the layered markings, making it a striking accent for a shelf, a desk or a display case. It is slightly flattened on one axis, which keeps it from rolling as easily as a true ball. It is a thoughtful gift for a collector, a lover of natural decor or someone who enjoys holding a smooth stone. This is the exact sphere shown.

The sphere is about 2.825 by 2.125 by 2.825 inches. Stand not included. Its slightly flattened shape also makes it comfortable to hold.

About Agate

Agate is a translucent, banded variety of microcrystalline quartz. Its bands form as silica is deposited layer by layer inside a rock cavity, and some cavities end up lined with sparkling druzy crystals. Agate is slightly porous, so it takes dye well, which is how most vividly colored agate in the trade is made.

Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.

Add a Sphere Stand

A stand keeps a sphere from rolling and lifts it into view, so it looks finished on a shelf, desk or altar. Pick one from our crystal sphere stands and holders, with carved wood, brass, metal and clear acrylic styles. Check the stand size against the sphere diameter for a secure fit.
