Collector’s Note
Often called “picture” or “landscape” agate, these specimens are prized for scenes formed by nature—this one resembles a misty peak with a pale glow behind it. The neutral palette suits modern, boho, or cottage displays and makes a handsome paperweight or shelf accent for rock hounds and artists alike.
