Natural Hand-Polished Lilangabi Agate, Eswatini – 130mm | Purple Chalcedony Band, Calcite Inclusions

A world-class specimen from the Lilangabi deposit, and one of the standout pieces in this inaugural release. The face is defined by a broad lavender-purple chalcedony band encircling a large open druzy vug — an exceptional and rare colour expression for Lilangabi material. A substantial calcite crystal formation sits on the vug floor, clearly visible within the cavity. Strong chromatism runs through the full band sequence from deep amber-gold at the outer margin to the purple inner band. A dense plume field occupies the lower margin, and a pronounced waterline feature is present within the interior. Bold fortification banding frames the face throughout. Discovered and exclusively sourced by Elemental Treasure, and hand-lapped in house.

Each Lilangabi agate is a natural stone formed over millions of years. The Lilangabi deposit — ‘flame’ in SiSwati — was discovered in August 2025 by Kent Alcock, prospector and co-founder of Elemental Treasure, in a remote valley in Eswatini — a locality unknown to the collector world until now. Elemental Treasure discovered it, named it, and remains the sole source. These specimens are cut and hand-lapped in house. Natural, with no treatments, dyes, or enhancements.

You will receive the exact item shown in the photos. All photographs are captured without filters or digital enhancement to show the true character of the stone.
