Beautiful translucent banded River Agate - one side polished, one side natural
Limpopo River Agate is a type of chalcedony, a microcrystalline variety of quartz, characterized by its unique banding and vibrant color patterns. Formed through volcanic activity and subsequent mineral deposition, this gemstone is typically found along the banks of the Limpopo River in South Africa.
The agate displays a range of hues, including reds, oranges, and browns, often with translucent layers that highlight its intricate structures. These patterns arise from the variation in mineral content and the conditions under which the agate formed
