Cut a White-Skin Brazilian Agate in half a couple weeks ago. Just got it off the Vib Lap. Have not seen on with type of bi-color pattern. Not sure how it would even get colored like this. I suppose it could have been dyed, just didn't think dying would work leave this kind of pattern.

very odd, any ideas how it picked up this colorization?

Probably just the way the minerals gathered in the silica solution when it was formed.

I still have not figured out if the black is spreading from the inside out, or the TN from the outside in! Either way a very stunning specimen.
	I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
