This is a monumental, hand-mined specimen of Cherty Missouri Lace Agate from the historic Potosi formation. Weighing over 5.3 pounds and nearly 8 inches long, this \"cherty\" giant is a museum-quality centerpiece for any Missouri mineral collection.
Specimen Highlights:
Outstanding Display Value: This piece has a commanding presence. The contrast between its rugged, microcrystalline \"cherty\" base and the delicate \"lace\" patterns makes it a perfect natural art piece for a shelf or cabinet.
Visual Texture: Features a classic reddish-brown botryoidal surface with areas of sparkling druzy quartz that catch the light beautifully.
Intricate Banding: One side reveals deep, undulating fortification fortifications in creamy white, smoky charcoal, and translucent honey-orange.
Lapidary Grade: For the cutters, this dense, cherty material is exceptionally solid. It provides a massive amount of high-contrast \"meat\" for slabbing and cabbing.
Shipped with heavy-duty care from KeepsCache.
