A monochromatic engraving captures the layered, striiated patterns of an agate cross-section, with delicate linear marks creating depth and geological rhythm across the composition. The vertical orientation emphasizes the stone's natural banding, rendered in grayscale with intricate detail that suggests both scientific observation and meditative contemplation of mineral formation. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
