Fortified agates are characterized by a unique banding that resembles the fortifications for battle zones or the crooked moats around castles. The bands are actually microscopic layers of chalcedony crystals with varying mineral contaminates, which provide the source of the colors in the bands.

This stone has colors of chocolate, whites, creams, orange and layers of grey. The stone is cut in a wider Tear Drop with both an upper and lower girdle to facilitate setting the stone.
