Indonesian Agate Alphabet (set)
Eastern Java Island, Indonesia
132mm x 102mm x 17mm
A superb set of both numbers and letters of these very hard-to-get matched sets of agate. The numbers are actually very uncommonly seen in good matched sets, and are a bonus. Although accused of being manmade, in the past, a letter was published in the GIA newsletter about the legitimacy of these agates. A very good website documenting how they are formed and found, carved and sold, is here at: http://www.indoagate.com/alphabet.html$6500
