Great agate tower

An agate tower from Brazil and Botswana, a slender vertical column shape with classic banding stratigraphy. The parallel horizontal lines run clearly over the full height of the column.

The banding lines follow the natural concentric deposit geometry and are visible as parallel horizontal lines over the height of the column. The narrow base geometry makes the banding particularly prominent.

Botswana agate is processed in Brazilian workshops. The typical grey-brown banding with occasional blue-grey accents is the characteristic material signature of this deposit.

A distinct vertical presentation dimension. The polished cut brings out the banding stratigraphy from multiple viewing angles. A Botswanan-Brazilian collector's item with classic banding and a slender column shape.
