Colourful Individual Agate Slices

Polished agate slices from South Africa.  Each translucent stone exhibits a vitreous lustre.

Although agate occurs in a wide variety of colours it can also be found in shades of black, brown, white and grey.  Many of these stones end up being dyed in an attempt to make them more appealing.

At Stone Mania we never knowingly buy agate that has been artificially coloured.

It's important to note dyeing is different to heating a stone.  Many stones are heat treated to enhance or change their colour.  Stones have been dyed and heated for thousands of years.

No two of these polished agate stones are the same.  They're sold by weight with the minimum order being 30 grams.  This equates to approximately 4 stones.

Orders are carefully put together and will include an assortment of sizes.  Bear in mind weights of each piece vary so the number you receive may vary depending on the weight of the stones.
