Volcano Agate Crystal Tower - 5-7.5 inch

This Volcano Agate Crystal Tower is a large polished point with dramatic layered patterning, combining mossy or dendritic inclusions with bands of grey, brown, and purple chalcedony, and it frequently contains translucent or druzy pockets. Each Tower is drawn from a lot, so the patterning, natural cracks and pockets, and the exact size and weight vary from piece to piece, and no two are identical. At 5 to 7.4 inches it stands as a bold statement piece.

Agate is traditionally associated with Protection and Grounding, valued as a steadying, protective stone. It is commonly kept for Transformation and Growth and used as a grounding focal point through periods of change.

Geological Information
Agate is a banded chalcedony from the quartz family, silicon dioxide, with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a trigonal crystal system, formed as silica-rich fluids fill cavities in volcanic host rock and deposit in successive layers. In this material the layering combines mossy or dendritic mineral inclusions with bands of grey, brown, and purple, and translucent or druzy pockets are inherent to the way the agate lines the original cavity; natural cracks and pockets are part of the material. Agate is among the oldest documented gemstones in human use, named by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus after the Achates River in Sicily. This tower form is also sold as an Obelisk or a Point, all describing the same faceted, single-terminated cut. Much agate of this type originates from Brazil.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
