I am not saying it is not, but I never have seen a center like this before. It should polish real nice.

It was a sweet cab.

What I can see of the rind and the outer edge of the agate showing yellow banding says yes - probably Brazilian.

The center core screams "FLOATER" haha. I love making cabs from floaters - agate patterns floating in a sea of crystals.
