Natural characteristics and diversity of agates from Ngabu
Agates from Malawi are characterized by tremendous diversity, which is why every kilogram offers a unique mix of shapes and potential patterns. Please note that cracks, natural voids, depressions, or inclusions of other minerals are natural characteristics of the stone and attest to its authenticity as well as the complex geological processes that have taken place over millions of years. It is an excellent raw material that is well-suited for both educational purposes and advanced experiments in gemstone processing.
Why choose this material?
Raw material from Ngabu is known for its high hardness and excellent “mirror-like” polish. Thanks to the small size of the agate nodules, these agates are very efficient to work with and yield beautiful collector’s specimens with intense banding.
