Natural Hand-Polished Malawi Agate – 69 mm | Crazy Lace, Chevron Banding

A large, exceptionally complex single from the Ngabu deposit — one of the most visually intricate pieces in the Elemental Treasure catalogue. The face carries at least three distinct banding systems running at different angles: broad horizontal crazy lace bands in the upper zone, a striking triangular chevron formation to the left, and deeply layered concentric banding to the right. The palette spans amber-yellow, warm brown, mauve-pink, lavender, sard-red and white. Ghost banding adds further depth beneath the surface. 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.
