This polished Blue Banded Agate cabochon features a pale blue center framed by soft white banding and earthy gray-brown edges. Its narrow oval shape gives the pattern the appearance of a quiet river running through stone.
Agate is a form of Chalcedony, a finely crystalline variety of Quartz. Its distinctive patterns develop as layers of silica form within cavities or fractures in rock over time.
Variations in color, banding, inclusions, internal lines, and surface texture are part of what makes each cabochon unique.
This cabochon is well suited for wire wrapping, jewelry making, or adding to a gemstone collection.
