5.6" Polished Banded Agate Skull

This is a 5.6", polished banded agate skull from Madagascar. This specimen displays beautiful layering that transitions from white to a faint purple-blue and has been through intricate polishing that left the agate with a skull shape. There is a gap in the agate over the right eye (anatomically), though this looks to be where a natural pocket of softer material was removed during polishing.
