This is a Moroccan agate and weighs 70 grams. This is a great agate with a large quartz crystal jutting out of a drusy center. There is a large orange orbicular structure on the far left with a chalcedony center. Lots of coagulation features on the far right and sagenite blades in clear silica at the bottom where you can see slightly under the drusy pocket. This is a very nice agate.

It is monocentric with flowing yellow banding around the orange center which has an interior of drusy against the interior walls of the center. Best seen with photography. Bitumen has infiltrated the upper area which appears as indentations in the face, but they are not fractures.

It has a very obvious infiltration canal and gold bands surround the whole picture. There is a small chip at center left and some internal fracturing at the top, but it does not distract from the beauty of the agate.
