A substantial hand-polished palm stone of Lebanese orbicular flower agate, gathered from the Minieh shoreline in North Lebanon. The surface carries multiple concentric eye formations — orbicules — suspended in a warm amber chalcedony ground.

This specimen sits in the overlap between two collected categories: flower agate, named for its bloom-like clusters, and orbicular agate, prized for its perfectly circular eye patterns. Where №002 in the catalog reads soft and painterly, this stone reads structural — the orbicules are sharper, more defined, more numerous. Count the distinct eyes and you'll find nine or ten across a single face, each one a separate geological event recorded in silica.

The ground is a warm caramel chalcedony, deeper and more saturated than the pale flower agates of Madagascar or China. Against it, the cream orbicules and lace bands stand out like ink dots on parchment. Hold the piece to window light and you'll see the amber body glow softly — a visual test of natural, untreated chalcedony that dyed or synthetic stones cannot pass.

Why orbicular agate from Lebanon is collectible: Orbicular patterning — where the silica crystallizes into perfect round eyes rather than flowing bands — is one of the most sought-after formations in the agate world. The Lebanese Mediterranean coast produces a distinctive variant: smaller orbicules than Madagascan ocean jasper, warmer ground tones than Brazilian agate, and a translucency that speaks to slow, clean silica deposition. Specimens like this one are genuinely uncommon on the international market.

Weight and feel: At 223 grams, this is a grounding, substantial palm stone — larger and heavier than typical meditation pieces, closer to a handled specimen for serious collectors. The rounded form and polished gloss make it suitable for daily handling or shelf display.

Care: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Cool water rinse if needed, dried immediately. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. The 6.5–7 Mohs hardness makes chalcedony durable for regular handling, though like all agate it can chip if dropped on hard surfaces.

Shipping: Ships from Tripoli, Lebanon within 3 business days, insured and tracked. Worldwide delivery 7–21 business days. Wrapped in acid-free tissue inside a padded gift-ready box.

Authenticity: Ships with a numbered certificate of origin signed by the CedarAgate founder, documenting collection location, date gathered, and geological classification.
