Carnelian Agate Banded Marble Shooter A fabulous banded agate with oxblood colored central band, gray end and light crystal end Measures: 22 MM Round, (7/8") Natural gemstone Have others so see my other listings!Agate is a colored variety of quartz that was hand-ground into marbles. They were a favorite of many marble players, especially as shooters. This is because Agates are denser than other marbles. This made it easier to knock an opponent's marble out of the ring.Hand-cut Agates are generally found in carnelian or banded varieties. The banded varieties have distinct concentric rings on the sphere. They command a value that is about double the carnelian examples. Carnelians are a more uniform brownish-red color.
