Dave Englund > Lake Superior Agate; 2.4oz. 8.5cm x 4.6cm x 1.5cm.

A "slab" that has been face polished. It's a fine rock, and an excellent example of agate formation - note what appear to be pour holes at the top. It is likely that hot molten silicates flowed into a basalt cavity and as they cooled formed distinct layers - what we now call "banding." Why they flow the directions they flow, create various shapes and thicknesses, and produce bands of very distinctive colors from the rest is still a mystery of science.
