Blue Green Flower Agate Palmstone

What are Blue Green Flower Agates?

Blue Green Flower Agate is a rare colour variety of Flower Agate from Madagascar, a form of included chalcedony admired for its soft floral patterns. The flower-like formations are created by plume-like or botryoidal chalcedony inclusions that appear suspended within the stone, giving the impression of blossoms opening beneath the surface.

The unusual blue-green colour is natural and is likely caused by trace minerals within the chalcedony. Similar bluish-green chalcedony materials, such as the African material marketed as Aquaprase, have been linked to chromium, nickel, and iron-related colour mechanisms. While this Madagascan material is not the same as trademarked Aquaprase, its colour may arise from comparable trace-element influences within the quartz.

These pieces have been carefully checked to ensure the colour is natural and not dyed. I tested the material using three chemical solvents of increasing hydrophobicity and examined each piece closely under magnification. No evidence of dye bleeding, artificial colour concentration, or surface treatment was observed.

What makes these Blue Green Flower Agates especially beautiful is the combination of turquoise-blue colour, natural translucency, and delicate floral inclusions. Each piece displays its own unique patterning, with no two blossoms, plumes, or colour zones forming exactly the same.
