This green agate slice sits on a stand, positioned to catch and reflect light beautifully.
Composed of silicon dioxide, it has a glassy (vitreous) lustre and often appears in brooches and pins. Its acid resistance makes it ideal for crafting mortars and pestles used to press and blend chemicals.
Agates typically form in molten rock cavities, where gas bubbles in solidifying lava give way to alkali and silica-bearing solutions. These stones develop as banded nodules, resembling tree rings—known as Riband Agate.
In Wales, agate connects to Ceridwen, the goddess of death and fertility, ruler of the west, water, and autumn. She embodies magic and reigns as the queen of witches.

I personally select all my crystals and stones primarily for their shape, colour and the best quality for a competitive price. The Specimen you will receive will be a close to the one featured in the picture as possible. Due to variations across digital platforms, the colour you see may differ slightly from the actual stone. Therefore, slight discrepancies are possible.
Each of my specimens comes with its own collectors card with information on its properties and lore.
