Item Description

Agate is a form of Chalcedony or microcrystalline Quartz which forms in layers in a remarkable variety of colors and textures. The most familiar Agate is the banded agate which has multicolored layers. Idar-Oberstein, Germany was once famous for its Agate mines, and agate carving there has a long tradition which continues to this day. Agate has an even longer history, since the Egyptians used Agate as a gemstone more than 3,000 years ago. Agate is suitable for any kind of jewelry, including rings. Some of the most well known varieties of Agate are found in Montana, and are highly sought after amongst collectors. High quality Montana Agates can be as impressive in their play of color and beautiful patterns. This "pear" cabochon gem is a beautiful example of this well known material, showing beautiful dark dendtric "cell" pattens against a silvery background. Great quality & size, and such a gorgeous pattern.
