Agate Chocolate

This is a handmade slab of natural agate pieces, each slice showing the concentric growth bands typical of chalcedony. Front-lit, the standard version is a busy mix of small oval and teardrop shapes in pale gray and ivory, with near-black rims and centers. Chocolate Giant enlarges the pieces into wide rounds with sparkling cores and smoky edges, a better fit for large walls that call for a slower rhythm.

Since the palette swings from cool neutrals in daylight to warm browns when lit, a backlit Chocolate wall effectively offers two looks. It is made 2 cm thick as standard and in other thicknesses from 0.6 to 4 cm, sized to the project up to 320 x 190 cm. Good applications include backlit living room walls, coffee tables, kitchen backsplashes and bar cladding. Avoid abrasive pads; mild soap and water handle daily cleaning.
