In the bright mist of the morning the boundaries are lost and everything becomes cloudy

Like distant dreams that slowly recede.

 

Each agate is a small work of art of nature

Strongly evocative of images and memories of natural landscapes lost in the haze of the day to come.

 

 

Dendritiche agate (or musk, or landscape) they are sedimentary formations

which over the centuries have undergone branched infiltrations of water with metal oxides of various colors, from black to bright red.

 

Since agate is a stratified sedimentary stone, it happens that between one layer and another, spaces are created that are invaded by water and added minerals.

In these minerals there is iron (reddish brown inclusions), manganese or psilomelane (black inclusions), is chlorite (inclusions in various shades of green).

 

These infiltrations, often in the form of tree branches, they are identified and chosen by the most skilled cutters in the first cuts made on the rough agate.
