Alashan Gobi Agate Cicada with “Sugar-Heart” Luminous Core / 阿拉善戈壁玛瑙

agate alashan gobi cicada carving sugar-heart

$298.00 USD

An exceptionally detailed carving (精细雕工) of a traditional cicada, sculpted from rare, untreated Alashan Gobi Agate. This piece beautifully highlights the unique optical properties of the coveted ‘Sugar-Heart’ Agate (糖心玛瑙).

Forged by millions of years in the harsh desert, the stone features a naturally matte, wind-weathered skin (戈壁风化) that contrasts with its semi-translucent body. A master artisan cleverly utilized the stone’s dramatic dark inclusion (巧雕) to carve the cicada’s intricate head and textured wings. The meticulous craftsmanship brings this piece of tactile ‘earth art’ to life.

Origin: Alashan Gobi Desert, Inner Mongolia
Material: 100% Natural Untreated Agate (Sugar-Heart variety)
