Piranha Agate Rough Locality: Brazil
Piranha Agate was mined out over 30 years ago. We bought this material years
ago and just "mined" it out of our archives. Piranha agate is
super solid and has great colors and figuring. There is very little rough
on the market but we have a reasonable amount to offer our customers.
As with all of the other species in the quartz family, agate takes a high
polish with cerium oxide, but also takes a fine polish with tin oxide and
diamond. Mohs hardness 7.
