Scotland’s hidden gems
Buried deep within the earth's crust lays an exceptional and infinite art source: the agate. Scotland's unique stone art has spent 380 million years developing into an extraordinary collection of designs.
Natural art forged through the millennia
When it was first formed, Scotland was an angry volcanic land mass south of the equator. Lava spread across its middle then solidified, trapping bubbles of prehistoric gas and chemicals.
Over the millennia that followed Scotland travelled north, and the rock tilted and turned. Jewels of exquisite natural art began to form inside.
An infinite art form
Jump forward to the modern day and rock-smith Dougal McIntyre has brought the artwork of these stones to life. Cutting into an agate reveals a limitless universe of abstract landscapes and distant solar systems.
Stones of Scotland have harnessed this infinite art form and now offer its exquisite beauty to you.
