ALLEY AGATE CO. Swirl 21/32" Abalone Marble

It's hard to let this Alley go. Solid red-orange, white and blue colors along with iridescent abalone glass on a transparent base. The last photos include a couple of backlit shots to showcase the transparency I mentioned. Most of those reading this understand that Alley Agate Abalones often look rough because differing glass coefficients created surface tension effects that produced natural texture and irregular cooling patterns. Albeit, I also see a history of play and pocket wear.

Size measured at the widest point with digital calipers.

Photographed with no editing or enhancement so you can judge color and surface honestly.
