Agate Mixed Tumbled 1cm - 2cm
A vibrant mix of naturally tumbled Agate in a 1–2cm size, featuring a rainbow of colour-enhanced stones across purple, green, teal, orange, red, pink, grey, and brown tones. Each bag offers a colourful assortment of smooth, high-gloss polished pieces with the characteristic banding and patterning that makes agate so beloved by collectors and crystal enthusiasts alike.
Agate is a banded variety of chalcedony — a microcrystalline quartz — that forms slowly within cavities in volcanic rock, building up its distinctive layered patterns over millions of years. In its natural state, agate typically appears in earthy grey, brown, cream, and red-orange tones. The vivid colours in this mix are the result of colour enhancement, a long-established and widely accepted practice in the agate trade that brings out the beauty of the stone’s natural banding. The treatment is stable and permanent.
Agate has been collected and treasured across cultures for thousands of years, prized for its patterns, durability, and the sense of grounding and connection to the natural world that many people find in working with it.
