Apricot Agate Half Pound Tumble Stone

Description

Each Apricot Agate Half Pound Tumbled Stone Pack includes smooth, hand-polished pieces of natural agate, a banded form of chalcedony quartz. Their translucent peach-orange tones and layered patterns reflect slow mineral crystallization within ancient volcanic rock. Each stone is unique, revealing intricate swirls and soft gradients formed by Earth’s natural artistry.

Geological Background

Agate forms when silica-rich groundwater fills cavities in volcanic rock, depositing successive layers of chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) and sometimes macrocrystalline quartz. Over time, these silica layers harden into the colorful, banded agate structure.

Apricot Agate gains its warm hue from trace iron oxides and subtle inclusions that tint the silica layers in shades of peach, coral, and cream.
