Rare Blue Lace Agate with Clear Quartz Geode Slice, Natural Geological Art
Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
Natural Agate Slice with Stunning Banding Patterns, Natural and Undyed ▫️ Description With an extraordinary growth pattern, this agate slice defies logic, leading to an intriguing question: How could a crystal layer develop between the agate's natural bandings? This one-of-a-kind, high-grade piece is a genuine form of geological art, the perfect gift for an Agate lover, or the piece to start conversations as a decorative masterpiece. The natural drawings first started as a dark green banding, which evolved into blue and white agate laces. After these laces, a geological miracle occurred, where a layer of amethyst crystal formed, adding hints of clear quartz and purple to the geode, leaving us to wonder how it came to be. To crown it all, in the final stages of its evolution, blue lace agate formed, allowing only white layers to develop in its center. It is all-natural, with the perfect, delicate lines growing intact, this piece is a true natural artwork. We decided to display it in a custom-made stand, enabling you to enjoy both sides of this specimen. You might wonder, "How did the blue lace layers form?" Agates usually develop in volcanic basalt cavities, filled over time with silica-rich water that leaves behind layers as it evaporates. While this explains the colorful bands, the crystal layer between the agate layers remains a mystery. Fascinating, isn't it? Check out the photos and feel free to send us a message if you have any questions or specific requests. 🤍 ▫️ Rare Blue and White Lace Agate with an Amethyst Crystal Layer (Cut, Polished, RAW, no enhancing treatment) ▫️ Color: Blue, White ▫️ Quantity: 1 - The item you see is the item you get ▫️ Size: -- 2.7 Kg - 6.0 lb -- Height: 29.5 cm. - 11.6 In. -- Width: 20 cm. - 7.9 In. -- Depth: 3 cm. - 1.2 In. ▫️ Amethyst Origin: Ametista do Sul - Brazil ▫️ Base: Self Standing ▫️ Ethically Sourced ▫ The E2D Crystals and Minerals Mission: It's been a long journey to bring you the best quality Minerals and Crystals from Brazil while making sure that every item we sell was ethically sourced.

Antique, New and Vintage Natural Specimens

Natural specimens turn things found in nature, such as rocks, crystals and timber, into art. Sometimes these specimens are hand-carved into sculptures. Other times, antique, new and vintage natural specimens themselves are best displayed in their most untouched state. These pieces range from Victorian-era objects to modern-day designs and include everything from sculptures made from animal horns to works in wood, either as sculptures or merely imposing and provocative chunks of driftwood.

Natural specimens serve as compelling decor in any collection or home. Just as any curious decorative object, such as an ancient scientific instrument or taxidermy mount, will draw attention to your carefully curated home library or mantel, natural specimens can spark interesting discussions about life and art. Whether it’s a piece of ancient pottery formed from natural clay, plants sculpted from metal, sculptures of animals or antique stone, they grant a window into all of nature’s wonders.

Natural specimen sculptures can complement many aesthetics. A rare geode makes a stunning centerpiece in a study or living room. Crystals and rock crystal spheres carved in the 1970s add a sense of etherealness and quiet beauty to any space.

Whatever your taste, the selection of antique, new and vintage natural specimens on 1stDibs includes precisely the right piece for your space.
