{"product_id":"malawi-agate-34mm-000498","title":"Natural Hand-Polished Malawi Agate – 34 mm | Scalloped Banding, Ghost Banding","description":"\u003cp\u003eA compact, high-character specimen from the Ngabu deposit. The face is defined by a deep carnelian-red centre with multi-directional inner banding flow, set against a striking inverse colour zone — a large pale cream-white form occupying the upper portion of the face and creating a bold two-tone contrast across the interior. Broad cool grey mid-bands carry through to well-defined scalloped outer banding, with ghost banding visible in the transitional zones. Directly sourced from Ngabu, Malawi and hand-polished by us in South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ngabu, Malawi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Face Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 mm (longest edge)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 × 25 × 32 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-polished\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collector specimen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scalloped banding, ghost banding\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 000498\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Malawi agate specimen is a natural stone formed over millions of years.
