Unusual Grinning Atoll Agate

Less regular and refined than the other Zwickau Planitz specimen here, this is an interesting piece both in it's subtle colour and it's shape. The beauty is in the details. The almost clear agate filled with the faintest of faint threadlike fortification lines and the unusual texture in the centre area where the agate meets the matrix. I am not sure what combination of crystal, agate or mineralization created that shimmering matter - but it is quite unlike anything i have seen elsewhere.
