Agate 116
Parallel bands like these form in the centres of agates when there is insufficient material to fill the void with bands crystallising roughly concentrically from the surrounding rock inwards. These form later in a central void, and lie horizontally - hence the name 'water-beds' that is sometimes used to describe them. Size: 6cm.
This wonderfully autumnal 'sea and sky' view depends crucially as an image on the blue-grey that marks the 'horizon' and differentiates sky from sea/land. I find it fascinating that agates whose crystal structures may survive unchanged for millions of years can evoke such ephemeral light effects as this.
