Gemstone: Montana Agate - 42.78 cts.
Montana, USA
41.44 x 37.76 x 4.64 mm

This Montana Agate weighs 42.78 carats has been polished into a softly contoured free-form which emphasizes the stone's natural translucency. A pale, milky body is animated by scattered dark inclusions suspended within the Chalcedony, creating a distinctive spotted pattern often likened to drifting sediment or distant constellations. Subtle internal banding and gentle tonal shifts add depth, becoming more apparent as light passes through the stone. Sourced from Montana, this Agate displays the quiet complexity and organic character for which the locality is well known. The combination of generous size, internal detail, and regional provenance makes this specimen an especially engaging example of Montana Agate.
