They typically show sparkling crystal linings in clear, golden, Hematoid, or purple hues with concentric agate banding in shades of white, grey, brown, pink, and orange. The material comes from volcanic rock deposits on the island known locally as Lemur Island due to its abundant lemur populations. Madagascar separated from Africa around 160 million years ago and became isolated, allowing unique lemur species to evolve after ancestral primates rafted across the Mozambique Channel approximately 50-60 million years ago. These geodes are available in natural form, polished on one side, or fully polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eQuartz, Chalcedony, Iron Oxide\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eVugs, Cavities, Crystalline, Hollow, Banding, Botryoidal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGold, White, Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLocality = Lemur Island, Nosy Varika, Madagascar\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good Grade\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize = 192 x 138 x 105 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AGATE - Lemur Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50269324181697,"sku":"184-187-260528KW","price":2464.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/184187_6.jpg?v=1780573201","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-one-side-lemur-island-agate-crystalline-geode-x-1-from-nosy-varika-madagascar","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
