Rare 20.0mm Chubby Hexagonal Banded Agate Chung Dzi Bead. This exceptional collectible stone boasts a thick, robust bicone geometry with mesmerizing, razor-sharp fortification banding. The bead features an intense contrast between a solid, rich black-brown core and remarkably dense, ultra-fine white parallel "zebra stripes" that follow its faceted hexagonal faces. A stunning landscape-like geode eye or chevron formation decorates the reverse profile. Perfectly preserved with smooth antique drill holes, it is a masterwork for elite jewelry designs or investment collections.

This magnificent collectible features an expertly faceted tabular hexagonal bicone structure carved from premium banded agate. The bead is defined by its incredibly clean, bold zoning: one half is a solid, nearly opaque dark chocolate brown, which abruptly shifts into a vibrant translucent honey-amber tip. Separating these two zones is a flawless, vivid white ceramic-like band that wraps entirely around the stone's crisp geometric edges.

The stone features extraordinary geological complexity: one half presents a glossy, deep dark onyx-brown face tightly bordered by dozens of hairline white parallel bands. As the bead turns, these lines cascade across the facets to reveal a stunning concentric chevron or panoramic eye pattern on the reverse.
