Pietra shazar agata dendritica

Agata dendritica pietra di shazar. Ciondolo artigianale. Prezzo fisso grazie Shazar stone is found exclusively in the Ken River in the Banda district of India and is believed to have been discovered around 400 years ago. This agate is characterized by its tree like inclusions that can look like miniature foggy landscapes. In fact, the name Shazar or Shajar comes from the Arabic word “Sazar” meaning tree. Some refer to Shazar stone as the Stone of Plentitude and believe it brings abundance and richness in all areas of life. Local legend says that any object that remains in front of the stone for too long will be imprinted inside. However, there is a scientific explanation for how these fascinating inclusions form. When two or more chalcedony stones trap a piece of fossilized fungus, the fungus produces an acid or base secretion that causes the agate to become translucent and simultaneously bind it all together. The result is a milky stone with dark, branch-like inclusions. Different colors may appear in Shazar stone, such as black and orange-red, and are caused by inclusions of iron and manganese. Cutting Shazar stone takes a tremendous amount of skill, as the stone has to be sliced just right to reveal the picture inside.
