Carnelian Galette

Geologically, it is Agate that has formed along with Carnelian, but in what colours!

The orange/red base is provided by the Carnelian whilst the Agate has flowed into and around it creating an intriguing, swirling pattern with white, black, pink, brown, yellow, tan and still more colours. Not every single sphere shows every single colour, and the patterns are different from piece to piece, but it's that very quality that makes each sphere a gorgeous individual !

The name derives from the fact that they are found in Madagascar, the surface pattern frequently shows lines and bands and, perhaps with some imagination, the pattern also resembles the folds you see when you fold up a length of silk.
