A stunning pair of naturally iridescent Iris Agate Wings displayed on an elegant gold stand.

When light passes through the agate, vibrant rainbow colours shimmer across the finely banded stone - a rare optical effect created by the mineral’s microscopic structure. Combined with the graceful wing design and natural translucency, this creates a captivating display piece that changes beautifully throughout the day as the light moves.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate unusual agates, optical mineral phenomena, and statement display pieces that blend natural geology with elegant craftsmanship.
Geological Specifications

Mineral: Iris Agate (Banded Chalcedony)

Iris Agate is a rare variety of finely banded agate renowned for its natural iridescence. When cut into thin sections and illuminated, the exceptionally fine layers within the chalcedony diffract light, producing vibrant flashes of rainbow colour without the need for any artificial enhancement.

Like all agates, Iris Agate formed over millions of years as successive layers of microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony) were deposited inside cavities within volcanic rock. The incredibly fine banding, often far thinner than can be seen with the naked eye, is what creates the spectacular optical phenomenon for which Iris Agate is prized.

These wings beautifully showcase the stone’s natural translucency alongside delicate fortification banding, allowing the iridescent colours to shift as the light changes. Each pair displays its own unique banding, colour intensity, and natural pattern, making every piece one of a kind.
