Pitted

A sculptural ring hand-carved from natural agate found in the creeks of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.

This piece reveals a striking natural texture where the interior of the stone shows a porous mineral structure formed during the agate’s geological development. Small cavities and mineral inclusions create an intricate surface that contrasts with the smooth, polished exterior of the ring. The creamy translucent agate allows light to move softly through the stone, highlighting subtle variations in colour and structure.

Agates from the Northern Rivers region formed millions of years ago within volcanic rock, where silica-rich fluids slowly filled cavities and crystallised into banded agate and quartz. As the surrounding rock gradually eroded, these stones were released into local creek systems where they can still be found today.

The ring was cut, drilled, shaped and polished from a single piece of agate using lapidary techniques, allowing the natural structure of the stone to guide the final form.
