Banded agate slice, purple dyed

The sliced banded agate displays concentric zones of various shades of purple, characteristic of the dye applied to enhance its natural patterns. Agate is a form of quartz, known for its hardness and ability to take a fine polish, offering a silky and brilliant appearance. The slices clearly show the successive layers formed by the crystallization of silica in volcanic cavities. These specimens often come from deposits in Brazil, famous for their abundance and diversity of agate.
