A very showy, old-time German CABINET specimen of slabbed and polished "coral" agate from near Leipzig in the Erzgebirge. The orange-red band is striking, but I particularly like the brecciated inner-core of the agate on the lower left, where the partially solidified agate fragmented and then continued growing. This is a classic locality for fine German agate.
