Natural Hand-Polished Malawi Agate – 52 mm | Eyes, Flow Channel, Fortification Banding

A feature-rich specimen from the Ngabu deposit. The face carries multiple agate eyes — complete isolated nodules with their own concentric banding — clustered toward the left margin, varying in size. A well-defined flow channel sits within the upper portion of the warm amber-sard field, its elongated lozenge form edged with fine inner banding. Angular fortification banding structures the interior, with pronounced scalloped outer bands framing the full perimeter. Ghost banding tracks through the upper mid-zone. 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.
