This magnificent collectible features an expertly faceted tabular hexagonal bicone structure carved from premium banded agate. The bead is defined by its incredibly clean, bold zoning: one half is a solid, nearly opaque dark chocolate brown, which abruptly shifts into a vibrant translucent honey-amber tip. Separating these two zones is a flawless, vivid white ceramic-like band that wraps entirely around the stone's crisp geometric edges.
