We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to the Lilangabi line: poppers! Small but punchy, these little nodules have been giving us plenty to enjoy at the cutting bench. As with any rough agate, what’s inside is part of the discovery, and results will vary from batch to batch.

Lilangabi agates are sourced from the Lebombo Mountains, formed millions of years ago during the break-up of Gondwanaland. Lilangabi poppers are the smallest nodules in our Lilangabi range. These rough nodules have a distinct scalloped shell shape and display a variety of colours and unusual features — an earthy palette of electric orange, every shade of yellow, olive and warm brown, along with waterline features, fortification banding, plumes, chromatography, perimorphs and pseudomorphs. They are named Lilangabi, which translates to "flame" in siSwati — a fitting name for their fiery appeal.

Batches average approximately 25–35 nodules per kilogram, with each stone ranging approximately 15–50 mm. The agate is dense, relatively fracture-free and takes an excellent polish.

Each 1 kg lot is carefully hand-selected from small, curated batches — we sort to remove poor-quality material and ensure you receive a representative mix of the deposit's best natural range. Lots are sold by weight, so the number of nodules varies with the size mix.
