The cut agates often appear in a uniform gray color, but show various microporous, concentric layers. These layers can be colored using special dyeing methods. Techniques for coloring agates were developed as early as the Middle Ages and are still used today. The challenge is to find color pigments whose molecular chains are small enough to penetrate the microscopically fine pores.
Scope of Delivery: The delivery includes a stand with a tealight holder and a tealight.
Important Notice: Please do not place the agate slice directly above the burning tealight, as there is a risk of breakage. The slice is dyed; color variations may occur due to lighting during the photo shoot.
