For Agate Moon, wide, round agate slices are set closely side by side by hand. The faces are mostly muted gray with a frosted, granular texture, interrupted by darker hollows and the occasional warm brown slice. It comes in one version, With Silver, where silver-tone seams outline each round and keep the overall palette cool.

With light behind it, Moon takes on a very different character, glowing in warm sepia and cream while each core shows as a dark mark. Single pieces reach 320 x 190 cm, and the 2 cm standard can be reduced to 0.6 cm or increased to 4 cm. Dining tables, fireplace surrounds, feature walls and yacht interiors all make good use of its restrained palette. Use a mild cleaner and soft cloth, and put hot cookware on trivets rather than directly on the surface.
