Caramel-colored agate hardstones in 18th-century snuff boxes were and are still much valued for any inclusions resembling landscapes, animals, or flowers, much as one might imagine a shape in a passing cloud. In this example, it is not hard to imagine a rock tunnel or cave.

CONDITION: Generally good but some dents to the base.
