Agates from Romania are very rare. The first samples I could buy in the year 2005 at the mineral-show in Munich.
These specimen are agates formed in lithophysae. The matrix is pale and polishable. Its giving a fine contrast to the agate-core in the center. The agates are coloured intensively red, blue and yellowish.
One specimen is showing holospherulithics ( completely globular shaped spherulithics ) hovering in blue chalcedony.
A second specimen of this rare type showed up in 2006 while cutting a lot of rough rocks from this locality.
Very interesting specimen from Cluj are showing pseudomorphics from Agate after cleavages from Calcite.
