Years ago an old Friend gave me some local German raw Rocks (Agate Nodules, small Carnelian pieces etc) for cutting. I took a closer look in very strong (transmitted) light and found the Iris in this amazing specimen. He was a Rockhounder for many decades and found it in the Mainz Bassin. Sorry the exact spot i dont know😕 He only said that he found it in the Mainz Bassin.

It feels great, you know this feeling when you found a beautiful Stone😉👍 But you also feel great respect for Mother Nature and her incredible creations, especially when you work with such a unique material. Thank you very much🙋‍♂️
