Fortification Agates
Agates with banding that initiates from and conforms with the inner lining/walls (or "fortification") of the void within the host rock. When some agate nodules are cut and polished, the cross section can sometimes reflect the plan (or overhead) view of a castle or structure. Below are photos of fortification agate specimens from various localities. If you haven't already done so, check out our Introduction to Agates page.
