Lilangabi Agate – 96 mm | Stick Agate & Chromatism

A world-class Lilangabi half nodule defined by exceptional chromatism — a sweeping transition from deep amber-orange chalcedony through a dense manganese oxide band into cool grey-white chalcedony above. The lower body is dominated by dramatic stick agate formations: blade-like chalcedony projections with perimorph and pseudomorph cavities, characteristic of the Lilangabi deposit's unique mineralisation. A well-defined drusy vug crowns the upper zone, its micro-crystalline surface scattered with dark manganese speckling. 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.
