Money Agate Sphere - 2.25-2.5 inch

This Money Agate Sphere is polished from banded chalcedony in warm cream, brown, grey, and red tones, with the banding wrapping around the ball. Each sphere shows a different arrangement of the bands, and the polished surface brings out the contrast between the layers. It is a warm, earthy Sphere with plenty of natural pattern.

Banded agate of this kind is traditionally associated with balance and steady grounding, and it suits a desk, shelf, or grid where a settling presence is wanted. As a Sphere it makes an easy display piece or a tactile stone to keep close.

Because these are natural stones sold as a lot, colour, pattern, size, and weight vary from piece to piece, and you will receive pieces from the lot rather than the specific spheres photographed.

Geological Information
Money Agate is a trade name for a banded variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz of the Quartz family with a Mohs hardness of 7. Its cream, brown, grey, and red bands form as silica-rich fluids fill cavities in host rock, with each layer recording a separate deposition event. Its geological and associative data are drawn from the Banded Agate entry, the foundational agate form. It is a natural material, though some commercial banded agate is dyed to enhance colour. Origins: banded agate is one of the most globally distributed stones, with major sources including Brazil, India, the USA, and Mexico.

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.
