Natural hand-polished Malawi Agate – 43 mm | Parallax, fortification banding, inverse colour centre

An exceptional specimen from the Ngabu deposit, showcasing some of the finest banding density seen in Ngabu material. Features a striking parallax centre — a floating sard-carnelian eye encircled by layer upon layer of precisely defined fortification bands in cool grey, white and warm red tones. Shadow banding adds subtle depth between the stronger lines, while a blue-grey chalcedony border frames the face with quiet elegance. Directly sourced from Ngabu, Malawi and hand-polished by us in South Africa. A true investment-grade specimen.

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.
