FREE: 4 X 4 PURPLE PASSION FROM BRAZIL...

The listing, 4 X 4 PURPLE PASSION FROM BRAZIL... has ended.

There are at least 15 major agate-producing areas in Brazil.
12 of these are located in the 5 most southeastern states of
the country, Rio Grande do Sul, immediately north of
Uruguay, being the best known. Other areas include Santa
Catarina, Paraná, Sao Paolo, and Minas Gerais. Two
other areas are in the state of Bahia in east central Brazil
and another located in the state of Roraima in the extreme
northwest. Polyhedroid Agates come exclusively from
Paraiba.


The agates from Brazil are mostly mined from decomposed
volcanic ash and basalt from the late Permian age (248-275
million years ago) In Rio Grande do Sul

When you see a pink, teal,
purple or green agate it is dyed not natural. I have a few
dyed bookend sets, but prefer to deal only in natural agate although the American
people would prefer the colored ones...natural browns, blacks, orange are still my favorite, I still love to locate the agates whole and cut slab and
polish them ...

EITHER WAY THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, A LOT OF TIME, MONEY AND HARD WORK, BUT SO WORTH IT!
