2.95" Polished Moss/Dendritic Agate Sphere - Fluorescent!
This is a moss/dendritic agate specimen that has been hand-polished from its original rough/natural state, into a sphere. There are brown moss-like/dendritic formations throughout the entire sphere. Under shortwave ultraviolet light, the agate exhibits vibrant green and orange fluorescence, making the dendritic inclusions really pop.
Comes with the pictured display stand.

About Agate
Agate is a variety of microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony) that displays translucence and, in some cases, banding. Agate primarily forms when silica-rich fluids fill pockets within rocks and/or fossils, depositing the silica along the walls of the rock. This process can result in banding patterns, as the compositions and impurities of these depositing fluids change over time. These banding patterns can either form as flat layers, creating linear patterns known as waterline agate, or as rounded layers, forming more common ring-like patterns. These patterns depend on the surfaces available for deposition.
