Montana agate cab ~
Offered here is a large deluxe cabochon of Montana agate, cut from agate found long ago on a gravel bar in the Yellowstone River. This particular piece was selected from an old stash of 5 gallon buckets full I lucked into, which I very much enjoyed rummaging through last summer. The agate is quite clear, with beautiful fortification bands and several edge-wise ribbons. There's a sparkly area of white quartz running diagonally across the stone, adding character, and though that tended to undercut just a bit, it's really quite nice. This stone shows off even more when backlit, as seen in the last photo, with some irising. It has a low rounded dome, a fat teardrop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 43x27mm
Weight: approximately 39 carats
