Description

This thin slice of iris agate appears rather inconspicuous without illumination, but when viewed in transmitted light or against a light source it reveals the full spectrum of colors. Its appearance is reminiscent of a rainbow, which is why it is also referred to as rainbow agate. When the slice is moved, the rainbow colors continuously shift, creating a fascinating play of colors that is truly beautiful to observe. The slice is cleanly cut and polished on both sides. The first and second photos were taken using soft backlighting.
