Quartz var: Agate (rare locality)

Item Description

A rarely seen specimen from Nová Paka (Neupaka in German) comprised of a polished, banded Agate nodule section with distinct, dominant white and light gray bands. To the best of my memory, this is the FIRST piece we've ever had to offer in the auctions from this locality, and if you're an Agate collector, I'll bet you don't have one from Nová Paka in your collection, so don't miss out.
