Gobi Eye Agates - Geological Curiosities
A beautiful pair of "Gobi Eye" stones: agates polished by sandy winds on the surface of the Mongolian desert.
These rare stones feature magnificent natural striations on their surface, with a "honey"-colored finish.
They bear witness to the arid environment of remote deserts, where even the hardest rocks are subjected to the elements over the course of centuries, or even millennia.
The “eyes” correspond to different crystallizations of microcrystalline fibrous quartz; the colors result from varying concentrations of elements associated with the quartz.
Average ovoid diameter: 3.5 cm
Very beautiful natural specimens for collectors of curiosities and geology enthusiasts.
