beautiful unique piece, agate lamp from Brazil, each a handmade one-of-a-kind item

An agate lamp from Brazil, handcrafted as a unique piece. When illuminated from within, the concentric banding lines glow as a warm, semi-transparent refraction of light.

Agate is a banded chalcedony variety made of microcrystalline quartz aggregates. The concentric banding documents different solution phases during geode filling, each layer with varying trace element concentrations.

The lamp's processing as a handcrafted unique piece is a curatorial decision. Each piece follows the natural geometry of the raw material, and each cut respects the banding lines.

Brazilian agates from Rio Grande do Sul provide the material. Cutting and lamp processing are carried out in specialized workshops. A Brazilian collector's item with handcrafted lamp processing and unique classification.
