Purple Passion Agate is a rare agate from Mexico. It's recognized for being one of the few agates with a deep purple that holds while cutting. With most agates, once you cut into purple, light penetrates and you find that the concentration of the purple is very low. However, with Purple Passion, it generally holds the purple with every slab, even when cut thin. This makes it a highly rare stone. Purple Passion also goes by the name Parcelas Agate.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The deep purple holds through every cut with this material - a property few agates share. A solid high-grade chunk ready for designer slab production.
PERFECT FOR
• High-end designer cabochons
