The Agates

Fantastic news this week, gang!  Courtesey of Our Blessed Benefactor, we have three, count ‘em, THREE new additions to the collection. 

Agates have the range, darling. These three stones, each with their own secret talent to share, demonstrate the elegant diversity of their family name.

First on stage, we have Cluster Grape Agate: Star of another recent post here at the studio. Reviews raved, “rocks I want to EAT”

Well, everybody, now I have my very own Eating Him Agate. Found in Andestite pillow lava, Grape Agate grows in the vitreols of igneous rocks, and must be removed with a gentle hand and a fine, finessed brush. 

^Here pictured against some very fitting grape vines.

Next act: Enhydro Agate. Her brilliant orange coloring suggests she’s also a Classic Carnelian. 

Within this stones walls hides a pocket of water, ancient as the rock she came with. Glossy as any magazine cover, this stone is ready for the silver screen!

And our grand finale: The delicate Iris Agate. Carved into an iridescent butterfly cabochon, she’s a natural star. held to a lavalamp- or a stagelight- a thin gossimer rainbow shimmers through her opacity.

This delicate beauty and her cousins illustrate the variety even a single mineral type can have, an how beautiful that diversity can be. Round of applause for tonight’s act: Agates!

Skeleton quartz with a very tiny bubble in the exact center! Do you see it moving around inside its little fluid pocket?

Skeleton quartz is a type of hopper crystal, a crystal whose faces grow much faster at the edges than at the center. This leaves hollow gaps at the center of the faces. In skeleton quartz, these gaps are called "windows."

This piece has an open window which extends down deep into the quartz, through many layers of growth. It also has a closed window - a place where a window used to be, but the quartz grew a complete face over top of it, sealing it off. When windows close like this, they can trap air, fluid, or bits of particulate like carbon or clay inside. This quartz crystal grew in clay, so the closed window has clay trapped inside it.

That's also how our little air bubble ended up in there! He's trapped inside a small window which closed when this quartz was much younger.

What a pretty little specimen!!!

Self-collected quartz crystal with a very mobile enhydro bubble in a….. barite inclusion?! How wild is that?! Found in King County, Washington, USA summer of 2022.

so I figured I'd share a small selection of my gorgeous crystals I've gotten from @bekkathyst over the years to show how generous her absolutely beautiful inventory is! I'm running out of room in my labradorite bowl, I hope new ones get stocked soon so I can display more like this!

the two in the center are my most recent purchase of a red phantom quartz with a surprise gift I'm assuming is polished amethyst? It's very pretty and always welcomed!

I cannot recommend her shop more as a geology/mineralogy enthusiast, her specimens are always fairly priced and have amazing quality- her raw crystal selection is unmatched! I'm going to for sure be a life time customer :)
