PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Shashe River Agate: A Natural Masterpiece from Zimbabwe
One XL Red Agate Nodule and one Grey banded Nodule Polished On One Side!
Agate nodules from the Shashe River are celebrated for their rich blue and pink hues, with some pieces featuring captivating crystalline centers. The Agate from this region is 100% natural, with no treatment used to enhance its vibrant colors. These nodules often display complex banded patterns, occasionally interspersed with white to cream-colored layers, adding to their visual appeal.
This material is fairly rare and not frequently worked, making it a prized find. The polishing is done locally by top-quality Zimbabwean lapidaries, ensuring that the region's craftsmanship shines through. Shashe River Agate is one of the few products still polished in the area, and the result is consistently excellent quality material. All of the included nodules are polished on one side.
