Large Pink Crooked River Oregon Limb good Cast Agate Chalcedony Specimen

Agate is a cryptocrystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and good brightness of color. Although agates may be found in various kinds of rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks.

The stone was given its name by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and naturalist, who discovered the stone along the shore line of the river Achates sometime between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC.

This is an Agate from Texas Springs in the State of Nevada.

Thank you for looking at my listings and my store and please have a very blessed day!
