Agate 1 x 1 Mosaic

As our name suggests, 'Agate' is reminiscent of the glass-like natural layered silica created by volcanic stone formations. Our 'Agate' mosaic series is created using the same processes from a molten silica, hand-poured to exhibit the variation and variegation of the naturally formed stone.

Fine grained bands combining subtle to intensive highlights, in a brilliant mircocrystaline complementary structure. With a rich variety of tones, often mistaken for natural onyx,'Agate' was given its name by Theophrastus, a Greek naturalist and philosopher, who discovered the stone along the shore line of the river Achates.

Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of hard-stone carving,and has been recovered at a number of ancient sites, indicating its widespread use in the ancient world.

Using glass, inert mineral components, and being paper-faced mounted, 'Agate' maximizes bond and is composed of completely environmentally friendly materials.

Agate is available in 14 innovative colors - including natural occurring blue and green tones, in both Pearl and Silk finishes.

Additionally, you will notice creases, wrinkles, shivers, waves, bubbles topped off with a natural surface to catch all forms of light for a brilliant effect. These characteristics of natural glass will serve to enhance the final beauty of any installation.
