Dwarves Earth Treasures: Gambiri Agates from Malawi

Gambiri Agates
("Red Skin" Malawi Agate)
Malawi, Africa

The Gambiri Agates were brought to the market from Malawi in 2018 and they found to be more colorful than the classic Malawi agates mined in 1970s. They are distinguished from the classic Malawi agates by their smaller sizes, more rounded shapes and wider and bolder spectrum of colors (more yellow, red, orange, pink and brown). They were apparently picked off the surface as shown by the high rate of fractures among the agates.
