Malawi Agate – 52 mm | Parallax

From the Ngabu deposit, this specimen presents a cool blue-grey and white palette with a warm blush-buff crystalline centre. Tight, well-defined fortification banding runs the full face, with ghost banding visible within the white chalcedony zone. The inner bands carry a pronounced scalloped profile — a structural detail that adds considerable character to the face. Parallax confirmed present. 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.
