Agate / Quartz Geode Halves

M1188 - Large Agate / Quartz geode halves from Brazil

Agate nodule with tiny cavity, or pocket, called a vug. Like bug with a "v". When a specimen has a tiny cavity, or pocket, it is not referred to as a geode. It is a nodule, normally referring to a solid specimen. In this case it has just a tiny cavity.

The colors are dark grays around the outer part with lots of natureal banding. Toward the center the grays are lighter. Toward the center is almost a yellowish agate and right in the center the agate is almost clear. The little cavity in the stone has tiny quartz crystals called drusy.

This specimen measures 6- 1/4" wide and is 4- 1/4 " tall. It weight 4 lbs.

 BEAUTIFUL!

GREAT BUY
