And Then...
Are we airborne, looking down on clouds and mountains, or on a cliff looking out to the horizon across a vast beach bathed in the golden light of the setting sun? One of the beauties of mineral 'landscapes' such as this is their very ambiguity, allowing us to continually reinterpret them.
The 'level-banded' formations in banded agates such as these are referred to as 'onyx', and as the layers build up, tiny quantities of impurities can create formations that can be strikingly like land- and seascapes. |
