Silica came into the cavity in pulses and left a record of each one. The bands read outward from the rim. Grey, then white, then a thin line of rust, then grey again. When the pulses stopped, quartz took the middle and grew points inward until they met in a smoky center. The geode was cut and opened. Nothing else was done to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour inches, standing on its own. This is the quiet one. Grey and white and a little brown, which is exactly why it goes anywhere.

The clear quartz in the middle is called the master stone and given to the crown. We report the tradition; we don't claim it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe documented part stands on its own. Agate takes its name from the Achates river in Sicily, where Theophrastus described it around 300 BC. It is hard enough and unreactive enough that chemists ground their reagents in agate mortars for centuries, and some still do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazil. No hand shaped this. A gas bubble in cooling lava left a void, mineral-rich water found it, and silica lined the walls in pulses until quartz filled what remained. We cut it open and did nothing else, with no shortcut that trades honesty for shine. The strata occurs once.
