Gallery-Grade Agate Geode Specimen with Calcite in Agate
About the Item
Rare Agate Specimen: A Unique Agate Geode Slice where a Calcite
▫️ Description
This gallery-grade specimen showcases a natural interplay between calcite and agate. Initially, the calcite formed in an aesthetically pleasing twin formation, and over time, agate gradually took shape around it, framing it perfectly. The result is a visually stunning specimen that highlights nature's ability to craft intricate, layered works of art.
Calcite is a very stable mineral; in this case, it formed before the agate and is now effectively sealed off by the surrounding agate. Essentially, the natural processes that formed these minerals ensure that the calcite remains intact, preserving its beauty almost indefinitely.
The agate layers appear primarily as blue laces, with some bandings featuring white tones. Crowning it all, a layer of intense purple crystals has found its way to the center, adding a sparkling quality to the specimen.
It is important to note that this agate geode remains in its purest form, with no treatments applied.
An outstanding specimen, this lace agate is sure to be an amazing addition to your crystal collection. Check out the photos for more details, and feel free to send us a message if you have any questions or specific requests. 🤍
You may be wondering, how were the laced agate layers formed?
It's truly fascinating: agates normally form inside bubbles or cavities of igneous (volcanic) basalt and, over time, are filled with layers of water with high concentrations of silica. The water is slowly evaporated, forming a layer of silica gelatin and then a layer is formed. It is a very slow process and each layer contained different impurities, thus forming different colored bands. Fantastic, right?

As a family, we were lucky to be born and live in Ametista do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: 'The World's Amethyst Capital'. Our story begins in the 1970s, when our father had a small-scale industry of Amethyst, Agate, and Citrine, originating our passion for Crystals and Minerals. After years in the void, but always being surrounded by these fantastic crystals, we decided that it was time to bring our dreams to reality, and in 2020 we started E2D with a Mission: Every item we sell is Ethically Sourced from small miners and lapidaries, leading the path for the development of the whole supply chain, especially for the ones who need more, the miners.
