Probably Ploczki Gorne (Poland) agate from a 2011 book. I just spent a couple hours searching. The image seems to have been taken with the same setup as the cover image. or maybe not? store.mindat.org/PolishAgateBook |

I see they have done a series of agate books so the photography is
very similar in each book. Bet the image came from one of those books if not the Polish one. Oh yeah, smokes and fire above!

A bathtub cut from a single piece of quartz. The cost.... $1,000,000  ? Sell a couple of these and your set.  |
