Horse Canyon agate~
Here is a fascinating cabochon of rare Horse Canyon agate, from California. This highly sought after moss agate is one of my long time favorites, becoming tougher to get by the day. The area where it hails from is now private and closed, meaning it can no longer be collected. This particular stone is of the dark variety, seldom seen these days; when I reach the end of what few nodules I have left, it may prove impossible to replenish. This stone has a mysterious feel to it, featuring a background agate the color of smoky root beer, and within that are very ornate moss-like plumes and stringers in deep olive greens. Some white water-level lines too. Please click to enlarge the pics to enjoy the delightful details! The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 5+mm, a sleek designer 'catseye' shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 43x21mm
Weight: approximately 32 carats
Price: $72.00
