Product details

Description

A lovely agate from the Ngabu deposit with a rare star-shaped inner band profile — sharp, angular points radiate outward from the inner zone in a precise geometric formation, framing a wide open field of warm taupe to greige chalcedony. Multiple concentric bands in warm grey, cream and soft brown fill the mid and outer zones, with a muted russet border at the outer edge. A soft pale chalcedony form sits within the inner zone — a natural internal feature visible in the close-up. Ghost banding adds translucent depth throughout. Directly sourced from Ngabu, Malawi and hand-polished by us in South Africa.

Each Malawi agate specimen is a natural stone formed over millions of years. These Ngabu candy agates are weathered from Jurassic basalts of the Karoo supergroup in southern Malawi's Nsanje district. This collector-grade polished agate may show minor surface marks or internal features as part of its natural formation and unique character. Any notable characteristics are clearly visible in the images.

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

Please take note of the measurements and view all photos carefully before purchasing.

Part of the Malawi Agate collection — directly sourced from the Ngabu deposit, Malawi.
