{"product_id":"malawi-agate-52mm-000499","title":"Natural Hand-Polished Malawi Agate – 52 mm | Eyes, Flow Channel, Fortification Banding","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\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 52 mm (longest edge)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52 × 37 × 25 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89 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 Eyes, flow channel, fortification banding\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 000499\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Malawi agate specimen is a natural stone formed over millions of years.
