This A-grade agate heart was shaped from fine-banded agate mined in southern Brazil, a region renowned for volcanic chalcedony deposits.
Agate forms when silica-rich fluids fill cavities in ancient basalt. Over time, rhythmic precipitation of silica and trace minerals creates the characteristic layered appearance, each band marking a moment in geological time.
