While Almus is famous for its mossy \"plumes,\" this specimen showcases the region's rare fortification style. Formed within Eocene-era trachyte rock, this \"surprise egg\" nodule features sharp, angular bands scientifically classified as zebraic chalcedony. The deep red and orange hues are 100% natural, caused by iron oxide (hematite) present during the stone's 40-million-year formation. Why this specimen is special: Geological Rarity: Represents the \"Banded\" (Zebraic) counterpart to the more common Almus Moss Agates. Scientific Interest: A perfect example of a \"length-slow chalcedony\" nodule, highly prized by mineralogists for its distinct crystallization. Natural Color: The vivid \"Magma Red\" is Earth-made, derived from the high iron content of the Tokat soil. Collector's Shape: Features the classic spherical \"Surprise Egg\" morphology unique to the Almus deposit. Metaphysical Properties: In addition to its scientific value, Almus Agate is believed to be a stone of revealed truth. Just as the nodule hides its beauty inside a rough shell, it is said to help the holder uncover hidden talents and inner strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecimen Details: Type: Almus Agate (Banded\/Fortification Variety)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific Name: Zebraic Chalcedony Nodule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation: Almus, Tokat Province, Turkey (Central Black Sea)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Eocene Epoch (approx. 40-50 Million Years)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreatment: None (100% Natural) Dimensions: 10x5cm Weight: 402g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipped worldwide with care from the StoneWorldAI studio in Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StoneWorldAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43244366757962,"sku":"S64","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/5075\/3354\/files\/6231612a-il_fullxfull.7556407545_3ke7.jpg?v=1768824668","url":"https:\/\/stoneworldai.myshopify.com\/products\/red-almus-agate-nodule-banded-zebraic-chalcedony-tokat","provider":"StoneWorldAI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
