Rare - Stalactite Agate Egg - Exclusive Egg with agate druse - Height: 485 mm - Width: 185 mm- 11200 g

Una bellissima Agata Brasiliana di primissima selezione, caratterizzata da una "parete" esterna dai colori marroni coffeè a macchie, con superficie lucida. La parte interna del geode è occupata da una formazione stalattitica con superficie ricca di cristalli. L'agata Stalattitica si forma quando delle soluzioni mineralizzate si infiltrano nelle fratture della roccia del geode, e iniziano a depositare minerali sulla superficie delle pareti della cavità. Nel corso del tempo, le soluzioni si accumulano e creano stalattiti con cristalli di agata all'interno. La superficie delle stalattiti sono ricoperti da microcristalli di quarzo intercalati con altri minerali.

Rare - Stalactite Agate Egg - Exclusive Egg with agate druse - Height: 485 mm - Width: 185 mm- 11200 g

A beautiful Brazilian Agate of the highest selection, characterized by an external "wall" of coffee brown colors with spots, with a shiny surface. The internal part of the geode is occupied by a stalactite formation with a surface rich in crystals.
Stalactite agate is formed when mineralized solutions seep into fractures in the geode rock and begin to deposit minerals on the surface of the cavity walls. Over time, the solutions accumulate and create stalactites with agate crystals inside.
The surfaces of the stalactites are covered with quartz microcrystals interspersed with other minerals.
