2.35" Polished Candy Agate - Malawi

This is a polished section of an agate nodule collected from Malawi. The "face" of this specimen has been polished while the opposite end has been left rough. The specimen features fiery bands of red, orange, and yellow chalcedony, and also displays a flower-like formation of white chalcedony over rutile. It was formed by hydrothermal deposition within large cracks in rock.
