6.7" Polished Purple Luna Agate Slab - Chihuahua, Mexico
This is a wonderful polished "luna agate" slab that was collected from Chihuahua, Mexico. The deep-purple agate is quite stunning and contrasts nicely against the white, orbicular "crater/eye" agate formations. Purple luna agate of this quality is rarely seen on the market.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

Luna agate, also known as amethystine agate, is a purple variety of agate collected from both Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico; it is not to be confused with agate coming from Luna, New Mexico.
The material from Chihuahua, Mexico typically has much deeper coloration and stronger eye/crater-like structures. The first material was collected from Chihuahua during the Apollo mission hype, influencing the name. The spherical agate "eye" formations were viewed as resembling craters on the moon.
