Agate / Crystal Geode

Two sliced stones in smoky lavender, each with a small brown hollow at the heart.

This agate and crystal geode is made of agate and crystal. Geodes form when minerals gradually fill a cavity in rock, and cutting one reveals the fine, concentric banding of agate around the center. The two halves here are oval and smooth, banded in soft lavender, grey and white. Each has a small cavity at the center lined with tiny brown crystals. A rough skin edged with flecks of yellow and orange remains around the rim of the larger half. It is 6 inches wide, 5 deep and 3 high.

Cut open, and a good deal prettier on the inside.
