Black Banded Agate with Natural Quartz Chamber

This listing is for a single Black Banded Agate tower featuring natural curved banding and a fully exposed Quartz chamber. Each piece shows true geological formation with layers of chalcedony meeting raw quartz crystals inside.

Natural Photography

All photos are taken on iPhone in natural lighting with no filters, no enhancements and no colour edits. Each tower is photographed individually from multiple angles so you can choose the exact piece you are drawn to.

The crystal you see in the photos is the crystal you will receive. There is no intuitive choosing or random selection.

The price reflects the time, care and detail that goes into weighing, labelling and photographing every piece so you can shop with confidence and know exactly what is arriving at your door.

Size & Origin

Each tower is measured from base to tip and sits securely on a flat surface. As this stone is 100% natural, banding, colour zoning and the internal Quartz structure will vary from piece to piece. Each tower is one of a kind.
