This unique, small agate geode displays collector-grade horizontal water line laces formed over millions of years that showcases the exact position where the agate formed. A top-tier specimen, it's perfect for your gallery shelf or as a standout addition to your table that will leave friends in admiration.

Nature amazingly formed the agate layers, where you can see the growth pattern it underwent over millions of years. Horizontal bandings that are called "Water Lines" tells us about the exact position in which the agate was when formed, as the silica-rich water settled at the bottom of the geode.

The colors in this geode are another highlight. The bandings display deep color tones, ranging from an external caramel hue that gradually transitions to blues. In the center of the geode, there's a bold white layer preceding the druzy.

It is very important to highlight the fact that this Agate Geode brings its purest form, and no treatment has been applied to it.

You may be wondering, how were the laced agate layers formed?
It's truly fascinating: agates normally form inside bubbles or cavities of igneous (volcanic) basalt and, over time, are filled with layers of water with high concentrations of silica. The water is slowly evaporated, forming a layer of silica gelatin and then a layer is formed. It is a very slow process and each layer contained different impurities, thus forming different colored bands. Fantastic, right?
