Geological Specifications

Minerals: Agate (Cryptocrystalline Quartz)

Habit: Polished Iris Agate Slices mounted as Butterfly Wings

Locality: Indonesia

Iris Agate is an exceptionally fine-banded variety of agate renowned for its remarkable optical phenomenon. When cut into extremely thin slices and illuminated from behind, the microscopic silica banding acts as a natural diffraction grating, separating light into vivid rainbow colours.
Unlike artificially treated stones, the iridescence found in Iris Agate is entirely natural and results from the stone's unique internal structure rather than pigments or coatings. The delicate cream, honey and translucent bands frame the brilliant flashes of colour, making every specimen completely unique.
Mounted as butterfly wings, these slices highlight both the precision of nature's mineral growth and the extraordinary optical effects hidden within the agate.
