Warring States Agate 24.43 ct (2) Round Cabochon Pair  24.60 mm & 21.10 mm China y669

Warring states agate

the origin of this name is because it resembles a material found in Zhanguo Warring States tombs from the period 475-221 BC.

The location seems controverial issue because some authors write that is from Yi Liangshan south of Sichuan Province , others from Liaoning province , both in China. Therefore I am not sure, maybe nobody want

to discover the real location.

However the material is very similar to the Xuanhua type , and occur in small nodules.The predominant colors are red,orange and yellow with often quartz druzy in the central portion.

Natural, untreated.
