AGATE SLABS:
Thin slabs are approximately ¼" thick and are polished on both sides. Thin slabs are excellent as display pieces. Customers can use slabs for making lamps, tabletops, clocks, pendants, belt buckles, windchimes, and as a canvas for paintings.
Natural colors are in various shades of blues, browns, grays, earthy reds, with accents of white mauves, black, and yellows. When ordering indicate your color preference.
Dyed agate is available in "electric" blue (usually with monochromatic blues and whites), green (ranging from a sea green to an olive green), red (an orange-red usually with white and brown accents), and by special order black (usually with white and brown accents).
If you have a project that requires a large number of slabs, which require a specific color, size, and shape, it is better that we select these in Brazil. Please refer to our website section "your agent in Brazil".
Larger thin slabs are a decorator's dream because they add color and texture to any décor. Slabs larger than 10" (25.5 cm) must be order by price range. When ordering, indicate preferences of color and features.
Our stock is mainly natural agate known for exceptional color and pattern. Our grades are "AA". "A" and "B". Most of our competitors call their "B" grade "A" and so their prices seem cheaper than ours, however, our quality is superior.
GRADE "AA":
These slabs have exceptional color and pattern. Some have unusual color combinations that are not common. "Bulls eyes" patterns are characteristically particular to Brazilian Agate.
GRADE "A":
These slabs have good color, pattern, free of fractures, and polished beautifully. The edge of the slabs or "rind" is intact.
GRADE "B":
These slabs have less pattern, some fractures, and parts of "rind" is missing. Customers find that "B" slabs are great for bases and a canvas for painting.
