Natural Hand-Polished Malawi Agate – 46 mm | Fortification Banding, Vug, Druzy, Matched Pair

A matched pair from the Ngabu deposit, cut to reveal a striking interior of tight fortification banding in deep sard-carnelian tones and rich amber-yellow. Two natural vugs punctuate the face. The match across both halves is exceptional: mirrored banding structure, tonal consistency, and a shared colour story that reads as a single composition when displayed open. 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 pair 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.
