Bullseye Agate (2020 find)

Item Description

There are all kinds of Agate in the world, but these stones are certainly unlike anything we've had to offer in the past. The come from a recent discovery in 2020 in Java. This is a beautiful style of Agate that is locally referred to as "Bullseye Agate". The stone features a rich, saturated, orange-red core of translucent Agate (possibly Chalcedony) with a gorgeous tight banded pattern (best seen with backlighting) surrounded by a crystalline white Quartz exterior. It almost reminds me of the cross-section of an egg, with a saturated dark yolk in the center. This is unique material, unlike anything I've seen before, and would make a great addition to any gem collection, or as the center stone for a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.
