Description

Mozambique, also known as Swazi Agates, are from southeastern Africa. Each has a very unique design and kaleidoscope of color all its own. This material has a super range of mixed red, blue and orange colors with lighter bands for a striking appearance. They tend to have fancy banding and are often somewhat translucent.

Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters containing Silica in solution which is possibly derived from the decomposition of Silicates in the lava.  The Siliceous matter is deposited in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation.  It is very unlikely that you would ever find an exact duplicate of any type of Agate.
