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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cem\u003edeep purple holds through every cut\u003c\/em\u003e with this material - a property few agates share.
