Slices of colorless to white agate, a chalcedony with soft, pale banding, are hand-fitted to make Agate Crystal. Many pieces have a frosted, crystalline heart wrapped in thin gray or white rings. All three versions carry gold-tone inlay between the stones; in the Small layout the pieces are tiny enough that the gold lines become the dominant pattern, while the Giant layout lets broad, rounded slices carry the surface.

The light stone takes backlighting evenly, and lit panels show a clean white glow framed by darker outlines. Crystal is supplied 2 cm thick unless specified otherwise (0.6 to 4 cm is possible), with single pieces up to 320 x 190 cm. Kitchen countertops and work surfaces benefit from its brightness, and it is equally at home on backlit vanities and bathroom walls. Pale surfaces show residue more readily, so spills are best wiped up promptly with a neutral cleaner. Modul Marble in Sun Valley handles orders for it.
