The specimen is shaped into a stylized crescent or moon form with a smooth, glossy finish. This variety of agate is frequently referred to in the trade as tuxedo agate due to its monochromatic colour palette. The piece exhibits a small area of the natural, unpolished tan-coloured matrix on one edge.
