PRODUCT INFORMATION

General Description

Nice to see polished material back on the market. Blue Lace Agate, meticulously sourced from the mines of Nsanje, Malawi. The deposits yield a dynamic mix of blue to white chalcedony, occasionally forming mesmerizing banded patterns, and showcasing crystalline geode-like or intricate vug specimens. The lapidary work is where the magic truly happens, revealing lovely crystalline exposures and intricate shapes that enhance the natural beauty of this stone. Renowned for its captivating blend of banded white to blue colours, this polished Blue Lace Agate becomes a perennial favourite among collectors and enthusiasts. A select few specimens may even surprise with the inclusion of Dog Tooth Calcite crystals within the geodes, adding an extra layer of fascination. Every piece is carefully chosen and cleaned, ensuring the highest quality for discerning collectors. Shiny crystals within the vugs and on the plates, along with occasional clear drusy-like coatings, contribute to the stone's popularity.

Mtorolite, an exquisite masterpiece of nature exclusive to the rich landscapes of Zimbabwe. Known as Chrome Chalcedony, Mtorolite shares the captivating allure of Chrysoprase while boasting its own unique charm. Its captivating green hue is not merely a colour—it's a symphony of light and chemistry. Chromium infuses vibrant shades into Chrome Chalcedony, while Nickel bestows Mtorolite with its distinct tone, sometimes adorned with delicate black Chromite specks. Each piece of Mtorolite is a natural work of art, emerging from intricate, plate-like deposits that bear the marks of time, appearing etched and weathered in their raw splendour. At Toprock, we pay homage to this natural elegance by meticulously polishing one side of the Mtorolite to reveal its lustrous sheen, while preserving its original form on the other side—whether it's the semi-crystalline botryoidal structures or a raw, untouched face. Though abundant in stock, our Mtorolite remains a hidden treasure awaiting its rightful place in the world of luxury and adornment. Slices and other polished forms of this exquisite material are exceedingly rare, but when available, they are nothing short of extraordinary due to the intrinsic nature of the stone. Our in-house polishing ensures that each piece meets the highest standards of craftsmanship.
