This large Madagascar Banded Agate is tumbled and polished to a smooth finish. Perfect as a paperweight, palm stone, pocket stone, or "worry stone". This one is made of Carnelian, which is the red, orange, or amber variety of Chalcedony. (Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline form of silica, composed of very fine intergrowths of quartz and moganite.) It is also banded, so it is jointly classified as both agate and carnelian.

Carnelian is an ancient gemstone, having been used as gem material since antiquity. Although still used a gemstone today, its significance and value has been diminished since the ancient times.
