Common Sources:
Flower Agate is currently sourced exclusively from Madagascar, where it was first discovered around 2018. Its unique internal formations and soft feminine colouring have made it a modern favourite among crystal collectors.
Formation:
Flower Agate is a type of Chalcedony that forms in volcanic rock. What makes it special is the presence of plume-like inclusions — internal structures that resemble petals or floral bursts. These inclusions are formed by mineral crystallisation that occurred during the stone’s growth, creating a soft three-dimensional effect within the stone.
Interesting Fact:
Despite being a recent discovery, Flower Agate quickly became popular due to its dreamy aesthetics and symbolic resemblance to blooming flowers. It's often seen in spheres, towers, and palm stones that highlight the internal “blossoms.”
