Iris Agate Butterfly Wing Pair 5

Drilled

Iris Agate is a unique and mesmerizing variety of Agate, known for its remarkable optical phenomenon. When sliced thinly and illuminated from behind, this otherwise ordinary-looking agate reveals a dazzling display of rainbow-like colors, similar to the iridescence seen in opals. This effect, known as iridescence, occurs due to the stone's fine layering, which diffracts light into various colors. Typically, Iris Agate shows a translucent base with neutral tones, but when light passes through, it transforms into a spectrum of vivid, ethereal hues. Its ability to unveil hidden beauty makes Iris Agate a metaphor for uncovering one's inner potential and beauty. In metaphysical practices, it's used for enhancing perception and stimulating creativity. This gemstone's unique play of color and rarity make it a fascinating piece for collectors, and a visually stunning choice for jewelry and decorative objects.
