Black Cherry Blossom Agate Sphere
Black Cherry Blossom Agate Sphere
Description
This black flower agate sphere features a deep charcoal to inky grey base scattered with soft cream and muted blush floral formations. On one side, delicate dendritic growth spreads across the surface in branching patterns, resembling ink drawings suspended within stone. The contrast between the dark matrix and pale blossoms creates depth and a strong visual focal point, while subtle warm undertones move through the interior.
Flower agate forms when chalcedony develops in volcanic environments, with plume-like inclusions created by mineral-rich solutions that crystallize in rounded, petal-like structures. The dendritic growth visible in this piece forms when manganese or iron minerals branch outward in organic, tree-like patterns during crystallization. Sourced from Madagascar, these darker varieties are less common and offer a more dramatic interpretation of traditional cherry blossom agate.
Metaphysically, flower agate is often associated with personal growth and steady unfolding. The darker agate base adds a grounding presence, giving the piece a more anchored, contemplative feel.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
