This Volcano Agate obelisk is 143mm high and weighs 328g. The rock it was shaped from formed in a volcanic environment, within a cavity in the volcanic rocks. This gives it some different features compared to other more typical agates that formed in sedimentary or metamorphic rock.
The dark Volcano Agate obelisk has unique patterns and hidden features. Strong colours emerge from the dark stone in reaction to Ultra-Violet light. The strong UV reaction of this Volcano Agate obelisk with vibrant greens is particularly striking. These qualities reflect its origins in volcanic activity and the minerals present in the lava from which the rock formed. This has resulted in its striking appearance with banding and inclusions of other minerals.
