{"product_id":"agate-freeform-madagascar-2","title":"Agate Free Form | Madagascar","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgate freeform from Analamanga, Madagascar, a banded chalcedony specimen standing 4.4 inches tall with translucent rims and layered interior banding. Agate belongs to the chalcedony family, a microcrystalline form of quartz measuring 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale. One-of-a-kind polished piece, cut with a flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concentric bands record separate pulses of silica-rich fluid moving through a cavity in the host rock, each layer settling before the next arrived. Madagascar's central highlands produce agate with unusually clean banding and clear translucent margins, both visible on this specimen. All color and patterning are natural, with none of the flat uniform saturation that marks dyed material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece suits a shelf, mantel, desk, or altar, and needs no stand. Agate carries long-standing associations with grounding, protection, and steady focus, so it is often kept in workspaces and entry areas. A fit for collectors of banded Madagascan chalcedony and for buyers who want a natural stone object with a named region of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44196710055972,"sku":"IND-AGT-FRE-0002","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/agate-freeform-madagascar-09_748454e4-f6d6-45ae-9d7d-21892be8e7e6.png?v=1779337236","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/agate-freeform-madagascar-2","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
